England completely ran over Bangladesh in the seventh match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.
Jos Buttler's men recorded a massive 137-run win as England get off the mark on the points table.
Bangladesh would have wanted to capitalise on the toss advantage after opting to bowl first. However, England batters went bonkers, helping their team score in excess of 350 runs in the first innings. David Malan top-scored with a 140-run knock, while Root smashed a 68-ball 82.
What was an already difficult task for Bangladesh, a collective failure by batters did not help their Net Run Rate either. The side got swept away by Reece Topley, who bagged a four-wicket haul, with the new ball as Bangladesh got bundled at a score of 227.

England vs Afghanistan predictions, latest betting odds
England will march into the contest with the betting odds stacked in their favour. They are a better team on paper. The pitch in Delhi was a conducive one for the batters in the match between South Africa and Sri Lanka. Afghanistan only have a chance to win this affair if there is some help available off the surface for the spinners. Otherwise, expect England to bulldoze Afghanistan.
