Pitch Report:

The Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala has produced slowish tracks with an average score of 202. Here, the bowlers can come into play, especially the spinners and slower bowlers. Similarly, the pacers with the new ball also extract some swing for the first few overs. For the batters, playing in the second innings has always been a better option with dew coming into the mix.


Team Analysis:


England

Jos Buttler-led England team didn’t seem to have the cutting edge as they suffered an eight-wicket against New Zealand in the tournament opener. The English batting seemed sluggish as they failed to convert their starts to a few big totals. Whereas with the ball, England couldn’t adapt well to game situations and playing conditions as the likes of Mark Wood, with his extra pace conceded a lot of runs.

Bangladesh


On the flip side, Bangladesh had a near-perfect start to their World Cup campaign against Afghanistan. Bangladesh’s strength, the spinners, turned up with an incredible performance as Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Shakib al Hasan each picked up three wickets. Whereas with the bat, the middle order played well but the poor form of the opening pair could be a big issue through the tournament.
