- Phil Salt (ENG): Talented youngster Phil Salt scored 38, which included four fours and 1 six in the first game in Chattogram. Opening the batting with skipper Jos Buttler, Salt will hope to convert his start into a significant score in this must-win match for England.
- Jos Buttler (ENG): Captain Jos Buttler was at his best yet again as he smashed 67 off 42 with the help of 4 fours and as many maximums in the series opener. The explosive right-handed batter will look to lead again with another big score that helps his side level the series 1-1.
- Moeen Ali (ENG): England all-rounder Moeen Ali remained not out on eight and picked up figures of 1/27 (4) in Chattogram. Moeen looks a worthy pick in this must-win tie considering his all-round skills.
- Najmul Hossain Shanto (BAN): Left-handed Bangladeshi batter Najmul Hossain Shanto has now scored three half-centuries in 4 white-ball matches against England. He also racked up 51 off just 30 in the opening fixture and is expected to continue his solid form in this contest.
- Shakib Al Hasan (BAN): Veteran Bangladeshi skipper Shakib Al Hasan took figures of 1/26 and remained unbeaten on 34 off 24 with six fours in his side's victory in the first T20I. The all-rounder is an ideal pick yet again as he looks to seal the series for Bangladesh.
