- Jos Buttler also chips in with a quickfire 50 in the end.
- Bangladesh are bowled out for 167 in 32.3 overs, losing the match by 197 runs.
- Reece Topley is the pick of the bowlers for England with three wickets.
Analysis:
England's batting performance was simply outstanding in this match. Malan and Root were both in imperious form and they put on a chanceless partnership to lay the foundation for a big total. Buttler also played a cameo role in the end to help England post a daunting target.
Bangladesh's bowling was simply not up to the mark on the day. They were unable to contain the England batsmen and they leaked runs at a high rate. The fielding was also not good enough and they dropped several catches.
In the chase, Bangladesh were never really in the game. They lost wickets early and they were never able to recover. The bowlers were also unable to take wickets at regular intervals and England simply cruised to victory.
Bangladesh Lost by a Huge Margin
Bangladesh's defeat by 197 runs is the biggest margin of defeat in a World Cup match since 2015. It is also the biggest margin of defeat for Bangladesh in an ODI match against England.
The defeat is a major setback for Bangladesh's World Cup campaign. They are now in a precarious position and they need to win their next few matches to stay in contention for the semi-finals.
