The 3rd ODI match of England’s tour of Bangladesh, 2023 is scheduled to be held on Monday, 6th March 2023 at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chattogram.

England had won the series of three ODI matches against Bangladesh 2-1 and now they have a golden chance to clean sweep Bengal Tiger in their home conditions. If England could manage to win this series 3-0, this will boost their confidence for World Cup as they are going to play the ODI World Cup in the same conditions as India. We know that to main players of England were not part of the side but they performed well in both previously played matches. They beat Bangladesh with a margin of 132 runs in the previous ODI match. Can England win this series against Bangladesh? we think yes but the result of this match will confirm our prediction.

Bangladesh won the ODI series against West Indies, Australia, and Pakistan in the previous year but failed to repeat this against England and lost the both ODI match and also the series. Now they can face a whitewash if they don’t perform well in this match. They won the toss and decided to field first in the previous match but their bowling unit failed to give the best performance and leaked 326 runs in 50 overs. Taskin Ahmed was the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side with three wickets to his name in ten overs against 66 runs. Mehidy Hasan Miraz also performed well and picked up two wickets in 10 overs but he leaked a lot of runs. He was charged with 73 runs in 10 overs.

Taijul Islam and Shakib Al Hasan picked one wicket each while Mustafizur Rahman was the bowler who failed to pick any wicket. The batting order of Bangladesh also failed to give the best performance in the previous match and their full team came back to the pavilion with a total of 194 runs in 44.4 overs while chasing the target of 327 runs.
