India Cricket WCup — Can England bounce back in Dharamsala?

England will play their second match of the 2023 World Cup against Bangladesh today at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. The defending champions will look to bounce back after a morale-shattering defeat at the hands of New Zealand in the tournament opener.

Jos Buttler's men are currently 10th in the 10-team standings. Their net run rate took a major dip because of the nine-wicket loss against the Blackcaps in Ahmedabad last week.

Bangladesh, meanwhile, will enter this match with a lot of confidence. The Shakib Al Hasan-led outfit won their opening game of the 2023 World Cup match against Afghanistan on Saturday.

Incidentally, it was also a day game in Dharamsala. Hence, the Bangladeshi players would have a good idea of the conditions at the HPCA Stadium. Before the match starts, here's an in-depth preview of this fixture.

England vs Bangladesh 2023 World Cup Match Prediction

Although Bangladesh have a ton of momentum on their side, England will start as the favorites to win this match. The defending champions tamed the Tigers when they met in the warm-up round of the 2023 World Cup.

The Englishman had an off day with the ball against New Zealand in Ahmedabad. If the bowlers execute their plans better in Dharamsala, England should earn their first points in the standings.
