ENG vs BAN Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report: ODI World Cup 2023 Match 7 | ENG vs BAN Dream11 Prediction Today | Dharamsala Pitch Report
A crucial game awaits us early in the 2023 World Cup. England, who were demolished in the tournament opener by New Zealand, will be seeking a quick bounceback against a Bangladesh side who were efficient in their take down of Afghanistan on this ground on Saturday.
England were second-best in all three facets against the Black Caps. Every player reached double-figures, but only Joe Root went past 50. Their only wicket with the ball was a legside strangle, with the bowlers struggling to maintain a consistent line and length in the face of a severe onslaught by Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra.
While Bangladesh don’t possess the same power and dominance that New Zealand showed, they have the players to cause England problems. The Tigers’ bowling attack clicked nicely against the Afghans, while Najmul Hossain Shanto continued his good form this year alongside player-of-the-match Mehidy Hasan Miraz.
Indeed, a great opportunity awaits Bangladesh to make a huge statement in this World Cup.

Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala Pitch Report and Weather
The Dharamsala outfield came into the spotlight in the Bangladesh-Afghanistan game. Mujeeb Ur Rahman nearly picked up an injury after attempting a slide. So, players will need to be wary.
In terms of the pitch, Dharamsala is typically a ground that offers assistance for seamers upfront, followed by spinners as the ball gets older. Expect some pace and bounce. In fact, the last three ODIs on this ground (2016, 2017 and 2023) have seen sub-200 scores in the first innings.
A mostly clear day with a top of about 23 degrees is forecast.
