CARDIFF, June 8
Bangladesh are not going to rely on previous upsets against England as they prepare to face the tournament favourites in their third World Cup game on Saturday, captain Mashrafe Mortaza has said. Minnows Bangladesh have defeated England twice before in the World Cup with the win in the 2015 edition knocking them out of the tournament.
“For us, again, I would say yes, we have been beating them in the last two World Cup. It doesn’t mean that we will make it happen again the way it did,” Mortaza said. “Both teams start from the first ball, so it’s very important for both teams to start well.”
