Hosts England will take on Bangladesh in their third match of World Cup on Saturday. Both the teams have managed one win each in their first two games. However, they are keen to win this game after losing their respective games in last round. The two teams will take on each other on Saturday at Cardiff.
A win in this game would definitely boost the confidence of the winners. England are considered as the outright favorites to win World Cup this summer. However, the team were on the wrong end after an inspiring win by Pakistan.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh started off their campaign on a bright note. They won against South Africa but the team lost in a nerve racking game against New Zealand. A win against England would surely make Bangladesh one of the favorites for top four spot.
England’s team are in incredible form heading into the world cup. But the loss against Pakistan did hurt Eoin Morgan‘s side badly on Monday. Considering they have plenty of match winners in their side, it is entirely normal for them to shrug off their loss and get back to business.
On the other hand, Bangladesh came into the tournament with no real pressure. Although, their cricket took major strides since last world cup, Bangladesh are not amongst the favorites to win the title this summer.
With this, the team are playing freely and to the best of their abilities. They comprehensively defeated South Africa in their opening game. And they almost came close to creating another historic win against New Zealand. But with bad luck on their side, they could not pull off their second win in as many games.
Match Prediction
Bangladesh are increasingly looking like a dangerous team since their arrival in the World Cup. Although, New Zealand escaped loss, England will be aware of the threat that the Tigers pose.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh are also going into the game with plenty of confidence after their first two games.
But the task to defeat England in their own backyard is too much of an ask, even for the best Bangladesh team ever. The hosts are a force to reckon with. Considering almost the entire team playing together for the last 2 years, it is not an easy task to go past the hosts for Bangladesh.
Except a tough Bangladesh fight, but England should be able to win this game comfortably at the end.
