The 2019 Cricket World Cup enters its second week and only New Zealand, Australia and India have 100% records. That list doesn't include the hosts and favourites England who have two points from their first two games. Their tournament got off to a confident start with a win over South Africa and two more points were expected when they took on Pakistan in their second match. England didn't fire on all cylinders though and their fielding wasn't of their usual high standard. They still scored 334 runs in their innings but lost by 14 runs. Now they take on Bangladesh who are seventh in the world one-day rankings, the rankings that England currently top.  England have played 20 matches against Bangladesh and have won 16 of those matches. Liam Plunkett is expected to be recalled for this game and England will be looking to get back on track, especially as their next match is against the West Indies.

Bangladesh are sixth in the league table, only behind fourth placed England on net run rate. They began their World Cup campaign with a surprise win over South Africa (who have lost both their games to date) at The Oval. They failed to build up on that win losing to New Zealand who are currently top of the table. Bangladesh will be hoping that Shakib, who has scored two half-centuries so far will continue his good form. Their batting and bowling, particualarly the latter isn't as strong as England's who should be able to get a big score against them. Go for England to win this match and a bet on them getting the highest score after 15 overs can be a winner too.
