England target rare ODI series whitewash in Bangladesh

thenationalnews.com

England are on the brink of a rare, albeit less celebrated, achievement in international cricket – an ODI series clean sweep in Bangladesh.

Jos Buttler's team have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series and will be aiming for a whitewash when the teams face off in Chattogram on Monday.

Bangladesh has become a notoriously difficult country to win games in for all visiting sides. The Tigers had won their previous seven home ODI series and over the past decade, have comfortably beaten India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and South Africa.

This time, 50-over world champions England showed why they are the top-rated team in white-ball cricket as they battled for victory in the opening match before crushing the hosts by 132 runs for the series win in the second game.
