The total of 386 is England’s second highest total against Bangladesh, and the highest is 391, which they scored in 2005 in Nottingham. But surprisingly, Shakib bowled seven of his allotted 10 overs within the first 15 overs, and England were batting on 101 without loss. Bearing in mind the moisture early on the pitch, Shakib’s seven overs within the first 15 overs raised some eyebrows. The Kiwis were brilliant all along and perhaps saved 30-40 runs in their 50 overs to restrict Bangladesh for 244. The Tigers need to improve their fielding if they want to qualify for the semi-final, or even beyond.
