The first two matches of the Bangladesh vs England ODI series will happen in Dhaka. The first game will be on March 1st. On that note, here, we look at the pitch report of Shere Bangla National Stadium and the weather conditions in Dhaka for BAN vs ENG 2023.
It is the World Cup year and hence, there will be context in the upcoming ODI series. England is the defending champion and will be expected to do well. However, their recent form in the 50-over format has not been exceptional. To address this, the series against Bangladesh will be crucial. The Bangladesh Team is strong at home. They recently upset India and it won’t be a surprise if they dish out a similar show against the Englishmen. For them, a tough challenge against England will help them in their preparation for the World Cup later this year.
