England vs Bangladesh, 7th Match at Dharamsala, World Cup 2023, Oct 10 2023 - Match Result

That's that! England storm back into the competition with a big win while for Bangladesh, it is back to the drawing board. Thanks for tuning in today. On behalf Chandan, Thilak and Alan, this is me Ashish signing off. Ciao!

Jos Buttler: Really good performance, we stuck to our guns. There are areas to improve as well. Back end of the innings, we should have got a bit more. It went harder as it went on. That is one area we can improve. Bairstow, Malan and Root were brilliant. Always trying to look for that perfect performance. It might just be the other way around. It can be one of the challenges, reading the pitch, reading the conditions. We have to go with different balance of swing and seam. The early wickets in the powerplay were fantastic.

Shakib Al Hasan: Was a good toss to win, was colder weather then. There was some rain last night. We did not start well, first ten overs especially. When you give them a sniff they always come hard at us. We came back strongly. But it was a little too late. When you lose four early wickets in ten overs, you are not going to get 350. We had a very good plan, but we couldn't execute it. We were here and there. First five six overs the ball l was swinging nicely. That's when the momentum went to the England side. We restricted them. Here 320-330 you fancy your chances which we couldn't get. Long tournament. We have to move on and we have some tough matches coming up. We cannot be bogged down. We have to move on and think about all the positives we have been doing.

Dawid Malan is the Player of the Match: [What's clicking for him] No idea. Experience if anything. It is nice to contribute. Been a long journey to get to this stage. To get in here is fantastic and to put in a performance and win a game is great. [Struggles against spin] I think sometimes people create a narrative that isn't there to justify their own writing or views. Sometimes I play a good shot, sometimes I play a bad host. We don't have to second guess ourselves. I am not here to prove a point or prove to people.

Afeef: "Eng have a positive NRR now. That's good, they've neutralised the thumping they got in the previous match."

Stats: This is Bangladesh's third largest defeat (in runs) in the World Cup. Their biggest loss was 206 runs v SA in 2011, and 198 v SL in 2007.

6.30pm England have come back with a bang and have now moved to fifth on the points table. Bangladesh have gone below England. Very early days but that's how things stand now. Was a thoroughly clinical performance from England, especially after the shellacking they received in the first game. Dawid Malan set up the innings with 140 and was given great support by Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root as England racked up 364 for 9. This despite a lower order collapse. Reece Topley then killed the chase inside the first ten overs. He removed Tanzid Hasan and Najmul Hossain Shanto off successive balls in his first over and then sent back Shakib AL Hasan with a peach. Litton Das (76) and Mushfiqur Rahim (51) were the only shining lights for Bangladesh, who were bowled out for 227 in 48.2 overs.
