Pre-Match Analysis:

Bangladesh hasn’t lost a home ODI series since October 2016 which shows how good a team they are in their own backyard. They need to keep in mind that they never won an ODI bilateral series against England. With some inspirational lower-order batting performances from Mehidy Hasan Miraz, they beat India in their previous outing 2-1. Tamim Iqbal who missed the last series due to injury is back in the side and will lead Bangla Tigers. The selected of bunch players are in good touch having put up good performances in the recently concluded Bangladesh Premier League. They have a good variety in their bowling department and give emphasis to their batting as they need to tackle world-class bowlers.

England has toured Bangladesh thrice for a bilateral ODI series and conquered on all 3 occasions, the most recent one being in 2016 which they won 2-1. Ben Duckett and Harry Brook who were part of the Test squad aren’t named in the ODI squad. James Vince who hasn’t been part of the previous series against South Africa makes his way back to the side and is likely to open alongside Jason Roy. All-rounders are their main strength having Will Jacks in the line-up even adds more firepower to their batting and he can arm roll his arms as well. Jofra Archer who made a return to the National side in South Africa will be the man to watch out for them with the ball. They are ruling T20 and Test formats at the moment however didn’t deliver their best in the 50-over format lately.
