Bangladesh vs England – ICC T20 World Cup Betting Tips

Bangladesh will face England in the match 20 of the International Cricket Council (ICC) T20 World Cup 2021 in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday. 

The game is an important one for Mahmudullah’s men after they suffered a defeat against Sri Lanka in a close contest in their tournament opener. 

The management will be hoping that the players will produce a much better display in the coming matches. 

On the other hand, the 2010 champions will enter the contest with high confidence after thrashing West Indies in their first match. 

The management will be hoping to see the players continue producing similar kind of performances in the upcoming fixtures as well. 

Both teams have never faced off in a T20 format and therefore, the contest is going to be a historic one. 

Bangladesh Form and Team News: 

After suffering a defeat in their first match, Bangladesh are likely to make some changes in the playing XI for the match against England.

The management will be extremely concerned with the bowling performance in the match against Sri Lanka where despite reducing the opposition to 79-4 in the 10th over while defending 172, the Tigers could not capitalize and the Islanders eventually managed to come out on top with a five-wicket margin.

The exclusion of pacer Taskin Ahmed from the lineup in the match against Sri Lanka was criticized and therefore, he is likely to be included. 

In the batting department, the team will be relying on the likes of in-form Mohammad Naim, veteran Mushfiqur Rahim, captain Mahmudullah and veteran experienced all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan to score bulk of the runs and give the bowlers something to bowl with. 

In the bowling department, the onus will be on the likes of pacers Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin, Mohammad Saifuddin along with the spin duo of Mahedi Hasan and Shakib to produce timely breakthroughs. 

England Form and Team News: 

After registering a thumping six-wicket win against the West Indies, England are unlikely to make any changes in the starting XI for the match against Bangladesh. 

However, there will be some concerns regarding the batters’ performance in the previous outing where despite chasing just 56, the English team lost four wickets. 

In the batting department, the team will be relying on the likes of openers Jason Roy, wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, captain Eoin Morgan and Liam Livingstone to score bulk of the runs and put the opposition under pressure. 

On the bowling front, the onus will be on the likes of pacers Chris Woakes, Tymal Mills, Chris Jordan along with the spin duo of Adil Rashid and Ali to dismantle the opposition’s batting lineup.

Our Tipster Angle

Both sides will come in the Wednesday’s match in contrasting form. One team will be desperate to open their account on the points table whereas the other will be eager to continue the winning momentum. 

On paper, England have a far settled squad compared to Bangladesh but the latter will have conditions in their favour where spin is likely to play a huge role which is why it is hard to predict an outright winners. 

However, looking at the Tigers’ recent record against non-Asian teams on turning pitches, the prediction is for Mahmudullah-led unit to secure an important triumph. 

Tip 1- Adil Rashid to continue his excellent form for England

Experienced leg-spinner has been a bankable performer for England in the T20 format. In the opening game against West Indies, Adil Rashid delivered an outstanding bowling performance and finished with figures of 2 for 4 in two overs. Given his excellent performances in the last 12 months, we can expect Leg-spinner Adil Rashid to take one wicket or more against [email protected]

Tip 2-Rookie Mohammad Naim to continue his purple patch with the bat

Bangladesh opener has put in excellent performances with the bat so far in this year’s T20 World Cup. In the previous game against Sri Lanka, Mohammad Naim produced a splendid half-century with the help of 62 runs off 52 balls with the help of six boundaries. With 126 runs at a strike rate of 121.15, Mohammad Naim is currently Bangladesh’s leading run-scorer in this T20 World Cup. So we can expect opener Mohammad Naim to score 20 runs or more against [email protected]
