Jos Buttler and his team aim to break a 7-year-old record against Bangladesh

The England Cricket team has been in the thick of things as they play various formats of the game in different countries around the world. With their packed schedule, it can be challenging to keep track of their games and series. Currently, they are in Bangladesh for a three-match ODI series, followed by a three-match T20I series. After playing against England in a two-match Test series last week, they are now leading the ODI series by 1-0.

Playing against Bangladesh in their home conditions is always challenging. Bangladesh is known for its aggressive style of cricket, especially in their own backyard. In December last year, Bangladesh defeated India by 2-1 in an ODI series, showcasing their ability to compete with top cricketing nations. However, England, with their recent victory, is now in a position to do something exceptional. The last time England visited Bangladesh for an ODI series in 2016, they defeated the home team and became the last touring side to do so. Since then, Bangladesh has not lost an ODI series to any touring team in the past seven years, winning seven consecutive series.

In the second ODI played at the Shere Bangla Stadium, Bangladesh won the toss and opted to bowl first. England batted first and scored an impressive total of 326 runs at the loss of seven wickets in their allotted 50 overs. Opener Jason Roy played a brilliant knock, scoring 132 runs off 124 deliveries at a strike rate of 106.45. In the process, Roy hit 18 fours and 1 six, setting a strong foundation for England’s total.

With one victory in their kitty, England will want to win the remaining matches and end Bangladesh’s winning streak. It will not be an easy task, as Bangladesh is known for its strong performances on home soil. However, with a talented team and a wealth of experience, England will be confident of securing the series win.

Despite the challenges of their packed schedule, England has shown remarkable resilience and adaptability. The team has been able to field two different teams for the white ball and red ball formats, which has helped them manage their players’ workload effectively. This has allowed them to remain competitive in all formats of the game and perform consistently at the highest level.

As they continue their tour of Bangladesh, England will look to build on their recent successes and continue to dominate in the limited-overs format of the game. With their talented players and strong team spirit, they will be a formidable opponent for any team they face in the coming months. The England Cricket team is undoubtedly one of the most exciting teams to watch and follow, and their performances on the field reflect their passion and commitment to the game.
