After winning their opening match against Bangladesh and Scotland, Asia Cup champion Sri Lanka lost to Pakistan in Sharjah. Australia, no unexpectedly, hit England and West Indies in the warm-ups, after batting second in both activities.
News simple: Sri Lanka are in a place, having lost their opening match to lower-ranked Pakistan, that very by being restricted to 85 for 9 in a humble fight of 117. As with their first activity, they will now face Australia on a day in Sharjah, so it's possible to make any team shifts. Sri Lanka will have to put their boots on the area after putting down three strikes on Thursday that were severely damaged. Australia has much allrounders to handle that, just like the teams did on the opening time.
Beth Mooney, an Australian cricket player, struggled to achieve her five T20I innings, despite having some low scores in the game. She did score 50 in the England warm-up, but she would like a big score in the main event to, along the lines of her unbroken 99* off 54 pellets in the Women's Hundred not too long ago for Manchester Originals. A solid start with Healy at the top was smooth Sri Lanka first, batting first or next.
Bangladesh vs England
Sharjah, 6pm nearby day
Bangladesh squad: Nigar Sultana ( capt, wk ), Nahida Akter, Murshida Khatun, Shorna Akter, Ritu Moni, Sobhana Mostary, Rabeya Khan, Sultana Khatun, Fahima Khatun, Marufa Akter, Jahanara Alam, Dilara Akter, Taj Nehar, Shathi Rani, Disha Biswas
England squad: Heather Knight ( capt ), Lauren Bell, Maia Bouchier, Alice Capsey, Charlie Dean, Sophia Dunkley, Sophie Ecclestone, Danielle Gibson, Sarah Glenn, Bess Heath, Amy Jones (wk ), Freya Kemp, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Linsey Smith, Danni Wyatt
Tournament type link" In what is a' house' World Cup for Bangladesh, they started things off on a good note, with a 16-run win against Scotland, after they had even beaten Pakistan in the next warm-up. England started their warm-ups with a 33-run lost to Australia, before beating New Zealand by five innings.
News simple: Bangladesh then run into a little stronger side in England, who are more intense than their 2023 type, and are carrying bowlers galore for this model. England also have a completely meet team to choose from. Left-arm spin Linsey Smith has returned, and also provide are Sophie Ecclestone, Charlie Dean, Sarah Glenn and Alice Capsey, with her nice part-time offbreaks. For a pitch that helped turn but did n't show much bounce, England is likely to choose three front-line spinners.
In the opening, Scotland restricted Bangladesh to 119 for 7, and it will be much harder to score against England. Bangladesh were the worst pitching area on the opening day, having put down four prospects, and they will have to stretch that factor if they want to think about beating England for the first time in children's T20Is. This is an evening game, yet not as much dew is expected in Sharjah compared to Dubai, which might have been the reason why Pakistan opted to bat in the evening game here on Thursday.
Player to watch: Ecclestone is, without doubt, England's best spinner, but do n't take your eyes off legspinner Sarah Glenn. She has been England's second-highest wicket-taker since the end of the 2023 T20 World Cup, with a tally of 26 just behind Ecclestone's 29. But Glenn has gone for much fewer runs per over with an economy rate of 5.27, compared to Ecclestone's 6.25. This will be Glenn's third T20 World Cup as he prepares for his 25th birthday with a handy bat down the order.
