Match 7 of the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 will witness the clash between England (ENG) and Bangladesh (BAN) on October 10. The match will be played at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala.
Bangladesh are coming off a comfortable win over Afghanistan in their opening game of the tournament while defending champions England were thrashed by New Zealand in a pretty one-sided match. Bangladeshi bowlers were at their best against the Afghans, but English bowlers looked quite average in the match against the Kiwis.
Looking forward, England would be hoping to make a comeback and open their account on the points table, while on the other hand, Bangladesh would be keen to test the English team with their quality spin on a spin-friendly wicket.

Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium Pitch Report:
The pitches at the HPCA Stadium generally favour the bowlers. The wickets on the black soil surfaces will produce true bounce. The last ODI played at this venue is proof that the HPCA’s tracks are beneficial for slow bowling. The team chasing has had more success compared to the teams batting first as per the total of four ODIs played at this venue.

Probable Best Performers:
Probable Best Batter:
Dawid Malan (England):
Dawid Malan, known for his risk-free cricket, could be the best batter in this match. His ability to play attacking shots and maintain the scoring rate makes him a very difficult batter to bowl for the opposition bowlers. He has shown some good form in recent times, and England would be hoping that he could continue his great batting form in this match as well.
Probable Best Bowler:
Taskin Ahmed (Bangladesh):
Taskin Ahmed is expected to be the best bowler in the upcoming match against England. The right-armer picked up one wicket in the last game against Afghanistan in Dharamshala. The 28-year-old was Bangladesh’s leading wicket-taker in the 2023 Asia Cup, picking up nine wickets from four games at an economy rate of 5.13.
