Bangladesh to bat first

DHAKA: England won the toss and elected to bowl first against Bangladesh in the crucial match of Pool A of World Cup at Adelaide Oval Monday.

A win for Bangladesh in the Mondays match would take side into quarter-finals, but England would hope to keep its World Cup campaign alive.

Almost four years to the day, driven by its unbelievably passionate fans, Bangladesh conjured a magnificent win against England in Chittagong. It wasn’t, however, enough to power victorious Bangladesh to the quarter-finals or scupper England’s chances of progressing to the knockout stage of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011.

Bangladesh Team

Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes, Soumya Sarkar, Mahmudullah, Shakib Al Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim†, Sabbir Rahman, Mashrafe Mortaza*, Arafat Sunny, Rubel Hossain, Taskin Ahmed

England Team

MM Ali, IR Bell, AD Hales, JE Root, EJG Morgan*, JWA Taylor, JC Buttler†, CR Woakes, CJ Jordan, SCJ Broad, JM Anderson

** Either Bangladesh or England
