England will take on Bangladesh in Match 20 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 on Wednesday, October 27 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
England has a balanced team with a strong batting line-up and in-form bowlers. They will be riding high on confidence as they are coming on the back of a win against the West Indies in their previous match. The Eoin Morgan-led side must be elated with the performance of their bowling attack. England bowled West Indies out for a paltry 55 runs. Adil Rashid was the pick of the bowler’s will 4 wickets. In reply, they chased down the target within 9 overs.
Preparation complete! 🏏

On the other hand, Bangladesh suffered a defeat against Sri Lanka in their opening match of the tournament. They failed to defend 172 runs and lost by 5 wickets. Despite the loss, Bangladesh should be focusing on the positives from the game, such as Mohammad Naim and Mushfiqur Rahim’s performance with the bat. They will be keen to beat England and off the mark in the tournament.
