Bangladesh will meet England in the second of three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) on Friday, March 3. Bangladesh experienced a blow after losing the first game of the series by three wickets. On the other side, England relied on the wisdom of their veteran Dawid Malan, who delivered a match-winning century in challenging batting circumstances to carry them home with 8 balls to spare. Bangladesh did everything right in the first ODI, but they couldn’t eliminate Dawid Malan, costing them the game by three wickets. The squad scored 209 runs because to superb batting from Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mahmudullah. Musfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan, the seasoned combo, would have done better but fell cheaply while attempting glory shots.
They have the luxury of batting deep, but they must work hard on the field. The spinners were on target from the start, but one solid knock wrecked their aspirations. If they can show more bravery with the bat, they have a chance to even the series 1-1. Dawid Malan’s one-man performance handed visiting England a 1-0 lead in the three-match series as they defeated the Bangla Tigers by three wickets in the first ODI. As other batsmen gave up so readily in the run-chase, Dawid Malan, 35, stayed firm at one end and showed next-level flexibility to remain undefeated on 114* runs. Previously, the bowlers shared wickets, which skipper Jos Buttler managed effectively by making appropriate changes. They have a strong bench and are expected to make minor adjustments for this encounter.
