Match preview

England made a superb start to their T20 World Cup campaign, bowling out the West Indies for just 55 in Dubai, and they are hot favourites to follow up with another victory over Bangladesh.

It was a brilliant bowling display by England given that the Windies had two of the most fearsome hitters in Twenty20 history, Kieron Pollard and Andre Russell, at numbers seven and eight.

Moeen Ali did the early damage before fellow spinner Adil Rashid wrapped up the lower-order to finish with figures of 4-2 from 14 balls and left-arm paceman Tymal Mills justified his selection with 2-17 in four overs.

England lost four wickets on their way to a target of 56 but they went on the offensive in order to boost their net run-rate and opener Jos Buttler was unbeaten at the end on 24.

The experienced right-hander looks a solid favourite to top-score against Bangladesh, having cracked 73 off 51 deliveries in last week's final warm-up game against New Zealand.

Strangely, England and Bangladesh have never met in a T20 international, although the Tigers have won two of their four clashes at 50-over World Cups.

They made life difficult for themselves in the first phase of the tournament by losing their opening game against Scotland. Their batsmen came up six runs short of a target of 141 in that match before predictable wins over Oman and Papua New Guinea but their bowlers took a hammering against Sri Lanka in their first Super 12 fixture.

The Lankans comfortably chased down 172, hitting nine sixes to Bangladesh's two, and Tigers opener Liton Das may struggle to make an impact against England's classy attack.

Das's highest score in the two warm-up games and four World Cup matches is 29 against Papua New Guinea. His other eight T20 scores this year, all against New Zealand, were four, six, nought, one, 33, 15, six and ten and that lean spell is set to continue.
