England struck at regular intervals to reduce Bangladesh to 153/5 in the official warm-up fixture of the ICC Cricket World cup 2023 before rain intervened.
The Asian Tigers won the toss and opted to bat in the 6th official warm-up game of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Jos Buttler said England wanted to bowl anyway, so the result of the toss was actually a win-win scenario for both the sides. England had the better of the opening exchanges, with Reece Topley making the new ball talk to claim a couple of Bangladeshi wickets.
Adil Rashid then spun a web to make dents in the middle-order even as Mehidy Hasan once again proved his mettle with the bat.
Teams:
Bangladesh (Batting XI, Fielding XI): Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Shakib Al Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto(c), Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Mahedi Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman
