England vs Bangladesh, ICC World Cup 2019: Jos Buttler's battle with Mohammad Saifuddin one to watch out for

England and Bangladesh both walk into the game with one win and a loss under their belt in the ongoing Cricket World Cup.. The Bangla Tigers also have a good record against England in the last two World Cup editions, beating them in both editions, and they will be eager to script a hattrick of wins here. 

However, Jos Buttler from England, who scored a hundred last time against Pakistan, will have to be tamed. The expectations from him are at an all-time high, and if Bangladesh want to get the better of him, they will look to create pressure upfront. 

One bowler who can do that with ease is Mohammad Saifuddin. Buttler has faced considerable success in ODIs as he bats fearlessly right from ball one, and is unafraid to unleash his full range of shots across the park. In 5 games against Bangladesh, he has scored 210 runs at an average of more than 52, which display his immense skills batting down the order. 

Saifuddin, on the other hand, can induce a false shot in him with his slower balls. However, if he fails to control his line and length, he can be taken apart as well. Either way, it will be a fascinating battle.
