England Cricket Team won a thrilling 1st ODI against Bangladesh. England won the match by 3 wickets where they chased down the target of 210 runs with 8 balls remaining. Dawid Malan played a terrific unbeaten knock of 114 runs in 145 balls where he struck 8 fours & 4 sixes. Dawid Malan showed immense mental application on a tricky surface and stood tall from one end where he didn’t get any ample support from the rest of the batters.
Bangladesh would rue the fact that they couldn’t grab key moments of the match. The decision to introduce Mustafizur Rahman after the power-play overs didn’t do any good as the left-arm pacer gave away 42 runs in 8 overs. Bangladesh skipper Tamim Iqbal’s captaincy was a bit questionable when he gave easy singles to the batters in a small run chase of 210 runs

England would be pumped up with this victory because at one stage it looked like Bangladesh could pull off an upset. Skipper Jos Buttler would be worried about his performance as the right-handed batter scored 9 runs in 10 balls where he struck 1 four.
The peculiarity of England’s run chase was that they didn’t panic even when Bangladeshi bowlers dried the boundaries. This win will give massive confidence to the visitors and it won’t be wrong to say that Dawid Malan has cemented his place in the side for the ODI WC 2023 in India.
“The time here in Bangladesh (in the BPL) definitely helped me. It was really tough out there. Happy to dig in there and get across the line in the end. I think it’s expected (to have a tough chase) on a pitch like this. We did well to have a couple of partnerships, Bangladesh did bounce back well and we know how good their spin attack is,” Dawid Malan said after winning the Player of the Match award for his exceptional knock.
Bangladesh would be dejected as their two-star batters Shakib & Rahim didn’t trouble the scorers. Perhaps, Shakib should bat at the No.3 position where he can provide stability to the team.
This ODI match was a part of the World Super League where England now have jumped to 2nd position in the table with 145 points whereas Bangladesh are in 6th position with 120 points. Both teams have qualified for the ODI WC 2023. Bangladesh would be aiming to make a resounding comeback after this topsy-turvy performance.

Twitter Reacts After Dawid Malan Guides England To A Win Over Bangladesh In Thrilling ODI
That was special from Dawid Malan. The kind of knock that doesn’t get appreciated enough in modern cricket. A 100 off 134 balls doesn’t sound mindblowing…but in the context of the game, this has been nothing less than a match-winning knock. Possibly his most impressive #BANvENG pic.twitter.com/LiWk3bh66F

England win the match the firstmatch of the series to go 1-0 up. Malan is the hero for England.
Chasing 209 in Bangladesh, team was struggling with 65/4 then Malan showed his class in tough conditions & scored brilliant 114*(145) to seal the first ODI for his team.#BANvENG pic.twitter.com/25djUX9GJG

A great win for England against Bangladesh. Having been under the cosh a bit early on, Dawid Malan scored a magnificent century. This bloke HAS to be on the plane to India in October and has to be in the starting XI. He’s worth his weight in gold.#BANvENG

Dawid Malan should be in the England XI for the CWC. May not be the best player considering the conditions and the way England want to play, but he’s earned that spot.
Just don’t open with him.

That Malan innings has got to be England’s best individual ODI innings since Stokes 2019 right? SCurran vs India would be up there as well but took an L there
