Super 12, Match 20, ENG vs BAN: Preview, Match Details, Pitch Report, Probable XIs, Match Prediction and Fantasy Picks

Preview

After losing to Sri Lanka in the previous fixture, it’s a do or die match for Bangladesh. Yes, it’s just the second match for both these teams but the stakes are really high. England, on the other hand, defeated West Indies or rather thrashed West Indies in the last match and by the looks of it, they have already set their eyes on the gold.

England got the perfect balance in their squad. Even after not having Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer and Sam Curran in the squad, England squad not only looks great on paper but also proving it on the pitch. Their spinners, Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali had a great time with the bowl and in Abu Dhabi that might just continue. If England manages to win this, they will be one step closer to the semi-finals spot. However, the journey won’t be easy, as there are no weak teams in that group.

Bangladesh needs to win this one at any cost. They were expected to have a good season but somehow they are not being able to deliver. After losing to Scotland, they turned up and qualified for the Super 12 but against Sri Lanka they once again got the taste of defeat. They made a decent squad and Sri Lanka was in a lot of pressure at one point. Bangladesh had complete control of the match but couldn’t capitalize and the Lankans took the game away from them. The reason behind telling all this is that they can’t make the same mistakes against England. England is way stronger than Sri Lanka. In order to beat them, the ‘Bangla Tigers’ need to bowl really well and the likes of Shakib Al Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman will be key in order to restrict England.
