England Vs Bangladesh – T20 World Cup 2021 Match #20 Quick Review! England Thump Lethargic Bangladesh

Oct 28, 2021 | Article Index, T20 World Cup

England Vs Bangladesh Quick Review — England continue their style of cricket as Woakes, Moeen Ali contribute.

Bangladesh lacked intent. When they had intent, they lacked shot selection. When they had decent shot selection, their running between wickets was abysmal. Defensive captaincy while bowling.

All in all, a poor performance. England have now been gifted two games in a row.

Moments of The Day: Chris Woakes, Moeen Ali, Tymal Mills a Revelation

  • Chris Woakes has been outstanding at the front. Originally not thought of as a T20 bowler, but Archer’s absence & Wood (in the squad) out with injury meant he found a spot. 4-0-12-1 meant that Bangladesh never got the start they wanted after Moeen Ali scalped the openers.
  • Tymal Mills was an X-factor selection post his Hundred performance even though he was out of the side for 4-5 years. He has repaid his faith beautifully. In this game, he made sure Bangladesh do not go in with mometum.
  • Jason Roy made a meal of the chase – 61 (38) with 5 fours and 3 sixes. Good innings by Dawid Malan as well – 28* (25).

Honorable Mention: Moeen Ali & Liam Livingstone combined figures 6-0-33-4. Bonus.

Broken Cricket Dream of the Day: When Will Bangladesh Improve?

Bangladesh have never won a game in the Super 8s/10s/12s of a T20 World Cup. Even Namibia have that now. Why do they never seem to improve even after 20+ years?

At UAE, this was supposed to be their year. But defensive captaincy, lack of imagination, and lack of intent will not get you very far. Now have lost 3/5 in this T20 World Cup.

My 10 reasons why they have not improved below.
