Today’s opponent of Bangladesh, who won the World Cup stage after ten years, is former world champion England. Bangladesh, who started the World Cup by defeating Scotland, will be given a tough test today in Sharjah. England is going to play the first match today to regain the title. The match between the two teams will start at 8 pm Bangladesh time.
Bangladesh has always played matches against England on the global stage. The two teams have never played a bilateral series. Needless to say, interest never came from England. Because he could not stand in front of them. In this edition of the World Cup in 2014, 2016 and 2018, the two teams have met three times, Bangladesh has lost all the times by a big margin.
However, Bangladeshi girls are not afraid of the power of England. Rather, Tigresses hope to pass the ‘English test’. Team pacer Jahanara Alam thinks that it is possible to win if you play good cricket on the field, ‘No matter how strong England is, if you can match yourself on a certain day, it is possible to change the result. Everyone thinks England will do something special. But give a certain day to you too. If you can do well in that match, no one knows what kind of result can happen.’
Bangladesh flew to the World Cup with the hope of playing in the semi-finals. The whole team is still dreaming that dream. Jahanara said confidently, ‘Since we have passed the first test, if we win two matches, we might be able to reach the semi-finals. We have three options open to us, we will take the first opportunity. If we can go down well with England, then our job is much easier.’
England won the first T20 World Cup in 2009 and played in the final three more times. England is far ahead in experience. So the task will not be easy for Bangladesh.
Bangladeshi girls did not have team practice on Friday. Jahanara Alam, Disha Biswas, Dilara Akhter, Sultana Khatunra who did not play the first match did optional practice. Besides, Taj Nehar and Murshida Khatun, who played in the first match, practiced.
The two teams are meeting after six years. Another good day with the bat-ball can beat England too, the team believes. To see if that day is today or not.
