BAN vs ENG, 2nd ODI Preview

Bangladesh take on England in the Second ODI of the series on Friday at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Friday afternoon. England won a very competitive first ODI by three wickets on Wednesday evening at the same venue. Bangladesh were not too far away from going 1-0 up in the series on Wednesday and we expect them to cause England plenty of problems again in this match. They will need more runs from their batters to properly challenge.

Topmost Picks for BAN vs ENG Dream11 Prediction, 2nd ODI:

Top Picks – Bangladesh

• Shakib Al Hasan – All-rounder will again be a vital part of this side, both with the bat and the ball, and his form will be crucial for the team’s chances in this series.
• Tamim Iqbal – He has returned to the side after missing the series against India due to injury. The experienced opener is Bangladesh’s most prolific batter, having amassed over 8000 runs in ODIs at an average of 37.

Top Picks – England

• Jos Buttler – He has 382 runs in his last 9 matches at an average of 54.57, will be the key player for the tourists. He is in terrific form and will enjoy batting on these pitches.
• Dawid Malan – The 35 year old struck eight fours and four sixes in the first game of the series. He also played in this year’s BPL so has plenty of experience of the local conditions.

BAN vs ENG 2nd ODI Probable Winners:

Moreover, they have also beaten Bangladesh four times in their last five meetings with them.  Wednesday’s game was a classic low-scoring ODI contest that was enjoyed by the fans of both teams and neutrals across the world. Bangladesh will know that a slight improvement from their batters would have seen them win the opening match and we expect them to be slightly more cautious with the bat in this ODI. England also have room to improve and we anticipate that their batters will be better for having already played one game on this surface against these bowlers. Considering the team combination, England is expected to win this match.
