ICC Champions Trophy 2017: England vs Bangladesh, 5 talking points

1. England record the highest successful chase in the history of CT

England broke quite a few records in the game

Courtesy this brilliant batting display, the Eoin Morgan-led side registered the highest ever successful chase Champions Trophy. Sri Lanka held that record when they chased down 294 against England at the same venue in 2013.

However, England were helped to some extent by the visitors. Bangladesh’s approach in the second half of the game was questionable as they set defensive fields even when Joe Root was new at the crease. That allowed Root to settle down nicely and once he was in, there was no stopping him.

This win will bring a lot of confidence to the England side, not to forget the two important points. Also, the hosts have sent a strong message to all the teams through this impressive chase.
