The Tigers’ second encounter was close as well as they lost by two wickets in the end. When a critical situation arises, the Tigers need their captain’s experience in the bowling attack to make crucial breakthroughs. In the last match against New Zealand, Mashrafe bowled only five overs and remained wicketless. Against New Zealand, Bangladesh could not string together any significant partnership while batting in the first innings. Bangladesh certainly need to build big partnerships against England, who have a strong batting order.
