Table of Contents

The 7th ICC World Cup 2023 match will be England vs Bangladesh on October 10th at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala, from 10:00 am. It is going to be an exciting match to watch as the defending champion, England, will look to win the match as New Zealand brutally thrashes them in their opening match.

England lost their first match against New Zealand by 9 wickets as Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway scored centuries to give hard time to the bowlers and won the match in just 36 overs. The batting performance of the England team was not up to mark as they are one of the strongest sides that have a great batting lineup. However, they created a record as a team as every player in their team scored in the double digits, which happened first time in ODI cricket.

Jos Buttler was not happy with their performance, especially their bowling unit, which was not able to get more than one wicket and was hit by the top order of the New Zealand team.

Disappointing day, outplayed by New Zealand, tough to take that defeat. One loss, still a long tournament. Lot of guys in our team have played a lot of cricket. We have beaten teams this way before and we have been at the end of such results before.
I thought we were well below par, not judging by the way New Zealand batted, because we were aiming for somewhere around 330. It was a good wicket to bat and I think it got even better in the second innings. Tough to build any pressure with the start they got. We lacked being clinical with our executions.
Jos Buttler said in the Post Match presention

Bangladesh will be coming into the match with great confidence as they won the match against Afghanistan, who can beat any team on their day, but it was not their day in the last match as Bangladesh won the match by six wickets.

Bangladesh spin unit once again performed well against Afghanistan as the two spinners of Bangladesh took the six wickets, and then in the batting, Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Najmul Hossain Shanto showcased a terrific batting performance under pressure. Hasan Miraz was awarded the player of the match for his amazing all-around contribution, and he was happy with his performance.

It’s a great moment for me, I’ve done a lot of hard work in the past. Credit to the team management because they believed in me. I was a bit cautious, the captain told me to bowl in the right areas. He told me to be consistent and to focus on my own performance so credit to the captain.
I took it ball by ball, didn’t look at the runs. Wicket was turning a bit, I just tried to play straight. I’ve always batted at no.8 so a great moment for me to bat at the top of the order. They tried me at the top of the order in the last few matches and it’s a great moment for me.
Hasan Miraz said after receiving the Player of The Match Award.
