England vs Bangladesh, ICC World Cup 2019: Key players from the England side to watch out for
The hosts will take on Bangladesh in their third match of the World Cup 2019 tournament at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff.
The tournament's favourites lost their previous match to Pakistan by 14 runs which was a major upset in this big tournament. However, they won their first match by a big margin of 104 runs against the Proteas. Let's have a look at some of the crucial players from the team who will play a key role in registering a second win for the hosts in the tournament.
1. Joe Root- The tournament's favourites and hosts were defeated by the Men in Green by 14 runs, however, it was Joe Root that almost led the team reach the path of victory. After a poor display of batting by the openers, it was Joe Root who provides the team much needed stability in the middle order. His remarkable innings of 107 along with Jos Buttler's 103 almost took the match away from Pakistan. England will look forward to make a robust comeback in the tournament and for that with the help of extraordinary batting performances by Joe Root.
2. Ben Stokes- This English all-rounder cannot be taken lightly when it comes to handling pressure situations in a big tournament like World Cup. Though, in the previous match he was less effective by scoring 13 runs and giving away 43 runs in his 7 overs, he did make an impact in their match against the Proteas. By scoring a splendid 89 runs off 79 deliveries and taking 2 wickets for the team, he won the Player of the Match award in that game. His all-round ability will be extremely curical for the team.
