England got their World Cup 2023 campaign back on track with a familiarly dominant display with the bat as the defending champions defeated Bangladesh by 137 runs in Dharamsala on Tuesday.
DHARAMSALA, India : England opener Dawid Malan feels the pressure in every series he plays and believes the only way to lift it is by scoring match-winning knocks like the one he conjured against Bangladesh in Tuesday's World Cup contest.
Dawid Malan bludgeoned 140 before Reece Topley destroyed the Bangladesh top order on Tuesday as England bounced back from their mauling by New Zealand in their World Cup opener. In-form Malan belted five sixes in his career-best one-day international score and Topley took 4-43 as the defending champions won by 137 runs after piling up 364-9 in Dharamsala. The total could have been even higher but England subsided from 296-2 in the 40th over due to some disciplined bowling by paceman Shoriful Islam and off-spinner Mahedi Hasan, who took seven wickets between them.
The Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team will play its second match of the ODI Cricket World Cup 2023 against Afghanistan in New Delhi on Wednesday. After a win against Australia, with superlative performance from the bowlers, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul, India would be pumped up to maintain the momentum against Afghanistan. The match is also likely to pit Virat Kohli against Afghanistan's Naveen-ul-Haq. The two share a history after being involved in an ugly spat during an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match earlier this year.
DHARAMSALA, India :Opener Dawid Malan smashed 140 and forged century-plus partnerships with Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root to help England rack up 364-9 against Bangladesh in their second match of the 50-overs World Cup on Tuesday.
England opener Dawid Malan continued his incredible run this year, joining the elite company of English stars David Gower and Jonny Bairstow to have the joint-most ODI tons in a calendar year for his country. Malan accomplished this milestone during his side's ICC Cricket World Cup match against Bangladesh at Dharamshala. In the match, Malan was a mixture of fire and ice. He stayed at the crease for 107 balls, smashing 140 runs punctuated with 16 fours and five sixes.
Mitchell Santner said he is enjoying the prospect of bowling more aggressively at the World Cup in India than he does back home after the New Zealand spinner took five wickets in a 99-run win over the Netherlands.
