Brief Scores: Bangladesh: 124 for 9 in 20 overs (Mushfiqur Rahim 29; Tymal Mills 3/27). England: 126 for 2 in 14.1 overs (Jason Roy 61; Shoriful Islam 1/26).
An emphatic win for England as they register their second win! After Roy's dismissal, both Malan (28*) and Bairstow (4*) hit boundaries in back-to-back overs to hand their team the win with 35 balls to spare. ENG: 126/2 (14.1 overs)
Too late for Bangladesh but Shoriful sends Roy back on 61. Nasum takes the catch. ENG: 112/2 (12.5 overs)
All but over for Bangladesh now! After playing cautiously against Shoriful, Roy (54*) lets loose against Nasum and brings up his fifty in style... in 33 balls. With a flat, powerful six! Just 21 more runs needed now. ENG: 104/1 (12 overs)
In T20Is, Dawid Malan had averaged 53.4 and was striking at 149.5 since his debut in 2017 till 2020. In 2021, he has averaged 26.8 and his strike rate plummets down to 114.5
Firs the reverse paddle from Malan and then ends the over from Nasum with a four over extra cover. 12 runs from it and England are romping towards victory! The partnership is worth 42 from 23 balls.
Jason Roy is probably seeing the ball like beachball as he slams it down the ground for a maximum! Roy has raced into the thirties and Malan is back in his usual spot at No 3 after the dismissal of Buttler for 18. That's really lovely from Roy, scoring boundaries and keeping Malan away from the off-spinner. Brilliant strategy at work from the Englishmen!
A wicket against the run of play for Bangladesh! Nasum Ahmed strikes as Jos Buttler hits it straight to long-off. It was a length ball and Buttler wanted to hit it over extra but miscues it. ENG- 40/1 after 5 ovs
Runs flying thick and fast from the bat of the English openers.
England run-chase is underway. They need 125 for victory. Can Bangladesh fight back with the ball? England openers Jos Buttler and Jason Roy are off to a good start. They have scored 18 off just 2 overs.
Tymall Mills finishes with back-to-back wickets. He closes out the innings with an excellent yorker! Another impressive display with the ball by England. Eoin Morgan's men need 125 to win.
Finally Bangladesh fans have something to smile about! Nasum Ahmed the first six of Bangladesh's innings! a couple of balls later he hits another big one! He has got the measure of Adil Rashid. Can he end the over with another hit? Yes he can... a boundary to finish the over! 17 runs from the Adil Rashid over. BAN- 119/7 after 19 ovs
Mahedi Hasan scoops one straight to short fine leg off the bowling of Mills. He departs for 11. BAN 102/7 | Can they push past 120?
Bangladesh have lost their skipper! Livingstone strikes again as Mahmudullah looks to go big! the leg break turned just enough to find the edge. Bangladesh are unable to score runs quickly and are sinking further. BAN- 83/6 in 14.5 overs
Horror running show leaves Afif stranded! Bangladesh are collapsing here! Afif Hossain has been run out after a misfield | BAN- 76/5 after 13 overs
A brilliant review from England! Livingstone traps Mushfiqur leg before and the partnership is broken. BAN- 63/4 after 11 overs | England's spinners bowled very straight to Mushfiqur Rahim, in at his off stump for much of the innings. Their lengths were also very consistent - the fullest ball Rahim faced from the spinners was the one that dismissed him.
Much needed for the Tigers and it comes after Mushfiqur gets a bottom edge that flies away towards the third man are. Bangladesh need a more of these. BAN- 42/3 after 8 ovs
Rashid takes flight and pulls off a stunning catch to dismiss Shakib. Bangladesh in a spot of bother. Big wicket for England as Chris Woakes gets rid of the No.1 all-rounder in T20Is, Shakib Al Hasan for just 4. BAN are 27/3 off the powerplay.
Woakes strikes to get the all-important wicket of Shakib Al Hasan. Poor shot from the southpaw! Adil Rashid takes a good diving catch at square leg. Bangladesh now struggling at the moment, they are 26/3 at the moment.
Liton's aggressive strategy doesn't work today! OUT! Moeen Ali picks up the wicket as the right-hander mistimes the sweep and gets caught in the deep. Mohammad Naim falls the very next ball for 5 to give Moeen two in two - isn't he having a good start to the World Cup? MOEEN ON A HAT-TRICK! But safely negotiated. BAN- 14/2 after 2.4 ovs
Liton Das on the front foot from the start and gets a couple of boundaries off Moeen Ali. BAN- 10/0 after 1 over

We have been good at chasing, the wicket looks good, played here during the IPL. We need to adapt, no team changes for us. The scars of past motivate you for the future. The focus today is on what we can do.
Mahmudullah has won the toss and has opted to bat first. "We are going to bat first. The wicket looks good, so we want to put a good total. We have one change. Shoriful comes in. We got three spinners playing, so we need to restrict them. This is a new game, so we need to play well."
Doesn't have much grass on it, looks a bit dry, so should be a good contest between the bat and ball, reckons Dale Steyn. Spinners might get some help as it's a pretty dry surface.
England and Bangladesh are playing each other for the first time in T20Is. Bangladesh will be without Mohammad Saifuddin, who was ruled out of the World Cup due to back pain earlier this week. Saifuddin was among the wickets in every game in this edition.
