They were famous for their Mirpur stadium. They always take home advantage and make a spin-friendly pitch. Seems like nothing working perfectly this time. They get some early wickets and then failed to keep the pressure ON. They lost some early wickets in batting and failed to fight back. Bad luck Team Bangladesh. Congratulations England!
Mirpur National Stadium which is known as the famous venue of Bangladesh. But being miserably defeated by England at the venue, moreover, another important thing is that the Bangladesh Premier League BPL 2023 season ended a few days ago. But sadly the two ODIs between England and Bangladesh ended without any new players selected from BPL being included in the squad. I think Bangladesh should change a few players from the top order and give opportunities to newcomers.
Anyway congratulations England to win the ODI's series (2-0)without playing last ODI.
I do not remember when Bangladesh lost so badly in their own venue. The Bangladesh team won the series against the India team. On the other hand, the last few series of England did not have good performances.
Bangladesh did the first 10 overs well in today's match, but since then the England batting has gradually started playing aggressively. But I was surprised how helpless the Bangladesh batsmen were against to the England bowlers. The batsmen thought each ball was terrified.. Can't expect to win the match with such fear. Bangladesh team lost the match when the lost 3 wickets.
The performance of England's batsmen on such a pitch impressed me. The pitch was not batting-friendly. Even then, the England team scored 326 runs. England's collection was only 40 runs in the first 10 overs. 1 wicket was lost. England's collection in the last 20 overs was 169 runs. They collected more than 8 per over. After England scored more than 300 I was sure Bangladesh was going to lose this match. Bangladeshi batsmen do not have the ability to collect more than 300 on such a bowling-friendly pitch. The performance of Bangladeshi batsmen is already very erratic. They lost 2 wickets in the first over and fell behind at the beginning of the innings. Liton Das has lost form. His performance was poor in both matches. But today Shakib's performance was good enough.
