CHITTAGONG, Bangladesh - - Co-host Bangladesh having not a very good time in this World Cup; especially after humiliating loss against West Indies. They are scheduled to face England, certainly a big match for them, today (March 11).
Bangladesh is coming to match with a low confidence and high pressure of their home ground and home crowd; as they had very bad reaction of Bangladeshi fans after they lose to West Indies by nine wickets.
On the other hand England will take the field with their tails up after clinching a nail biting low-scoring thriller against South Africa. But their bowling vulnerability can led them again to the misery they had against Ireland. The situation even worsened after Stuart Broad has back to home due to injury. More probably Chris Tremlett will replace Stuart Broad while Eoin Morgan will replace Paul Collingwood.
England have all the odds in their favour according to history; as out of the 14 matches played between the teams, England have won 13, while Bangladesh have won only 1. In World Cups, the two sides have met just once, in 2007, with England victorious.
Match will be officiated by Daryl Harper and Rod Tucker, Aleem Dar (third), Enamul Hoque-Moni (fourth), Jeff Crowe (referee).
Final eleven will be announced short before the match by both of the teams from the following squads:
Teams:
Bangladesh (From): Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes, Junaid Siddique, Raqibul Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Shakib Al Hasan(c), Mahmudullah, Naeem Islam, Abdur Razzak, Rubel Hossain, Shafiul Islam, Mohammad Ashraful, Nazmul Hossain, Shahriar Nafees, Suhrawadi Shuvo
England (From): Andrew Strauss(c), Jonathan Trott, Ian Bell, Paul Collingwood, Ravi Bopara, Eoin Morgan, Matt Prior(w), Michael Yardy, Tim Bresnan, Graeme Swann, James Anderson, Ajmal Shahzad, James Tredwell, Luke Wright, Chris Tremlett
