BAN vs ENG, 2nd ODI: Preview, Prediction And Fantasy Tips
Dawid Malan struck a magnificent century to win the first ODI for England
On Friday, hosts Bangladesh will lock horns against England in the second ODI of the ongoing three-match series. It's a must-win game for Bangladesh, who desperately need a win to stay alive in the series.
The first match saw a nail-biting contest between the two teams with England having the last laugh with a narrow three-run win over their counterparts.
After opting to bat first, the Tigers managed to post a mere 209 runs on the board despite a fighting fifty from Najmul Hossain Shanto.
The fact that Mahmudullah was their second best batter with a 48-ball 31 sums up the kind of a disastrous day their batting unit had in the game.
However, the biggest positive for the Tigers was their bowling unit, which made a match out of such a sub-par total.
While Taijul Islam stunned the Englishmen with a spectacular three-fer, Mehidy Hasan Miraz scalped two crucial wickets to push them on the back foot.
If not for Dawid Malan's sensational hundred, the hosts would've started the series with an enthralling win.
On the contrary, England, who were clinical with the ball, must be hoping for a better batting performance from their batting unit.
While Jason Roy and Phil Salt collectively managed 16 runs, James Vince and Jos Buttler got out for single-digit scores. So, moving on to this game, the visiting batters would like to turn things around by living up to the expectations.
