The 20th fixture of the T20 World Cup 2021 sees Bangladesh take on England at Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi on October 27 (Thursday). The match is scheduled to begin at 3:30 pm IST.

Teams Status

Bangladesh

Bangladesh would probably still be kicking themselves after losing their opening match of Group 1 to Sri Lanka despite posting a more than decent total of 171-4.

It’s pretty clear what happened to them. Their batters did their job but the bowlers faltered. Sri Lankan batting is more economy class than world-class, and so a target of 172 should have been defendable.

And it seemed it would when the Tigers got rid of Kusal Perera in the opening over but then Sri Lankan batters were allowed to take over as Mahmudullah and Co struggled to contain the flow of runs, which eventually saw the Lankans track down the target with more than an over to spare.

The defeat means that Bangladesh are now second-last on the points table of Group 1, above only the West Indies. A second defeat would deal a tremendous blow to their progression chances.

England

England arrived in the UAE for their T20 World Cup campaign on the back of little format-specific practice but their supposed ring rust was nowhere to be found as they pummeled West Indies in their opener.

Their entire bowling unit was on fire as they allowed the defending champions just 55 runs. Adil Rashid was the pick of the English bowlers as he claimed four Windies wickets, most of them from the lower order but impressive nonetheless.

In the brief run chase, they lost four wickets, which was more than they would have wanted, but they got the job done.

The nature of their win said a lot about their bowling but the batters did not get to show much. We will find that out in this game.

What Do the Sportsbooks Say?

Tipster’s Angle

Tip: Bangladesh to win @ 4.02

Here is a bold prediction. It takes tremendous courage to go against a side that bowled out the defending champions for 55 runs in their previous game. It also takes tremendous courage to back against them a side that recently lost to Sri Lanka and Scotland. But, for whopping odds of 4.02, we think risking a small amount could be worth a shot. Bangladesh have played more than enough T20 cricket of late – a chunk of which was in the UAE or UAE-like conditions. They are due a high as well. It’s a long shot but it’s worth a shot. The odds have been sourced from 22Bet.

Tip: Jos Buttler Total Runs Under (24.5)

Jos Buttler, for us at Betninjas, is the best English batsman in this lineup. If Bangladesh are to stand any chance of winning, they’d have to get rid of him early. He scored an unbeaten 24 in the last game and that’s the score Bangladesh would have to limit him under, for us to win this bit. The play can be found on 22Bet.

Conclusion

Conventional wisdom absolutely points towards a convincing England victory but we’re tempted by the tasty odds on offer on Bangladesh. One play we’d definitely avoid is the moneyline on England. The odds are too short on that one.
