Bangladesh top order collapses

DHAKA: Bangladesh lost four early wickets in their crucial Pool A match of World Cup against England at Adelaide Oval Monday.

After the end of 28-over, Bangladesh scored 128 for four.

Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes, and Shakib went to pavilion scoring 2 runs each while Soumya scored 40. JM Anderson bagged two wickets, Jordan and Moeen Ali got one wicket each.

Earlier in the day, England won the toss and elected to bowl first against Bangladesh.

A win for Bangladesh in the 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.
