England vs Bangladesh T20 World Cup 2021 Highlights: England produced yet another phenomenal performance as they beat Bangladesh by 8 wickets to register a second successive victory in the Super 12 stage. Jason Roy's 61 proved central to the side's run-chase as England reached the 125-run target in only 14.1 overs. Earlier, England had restricted Bangladesh to 124/9 in 20 overs. Moeen Ali's double-strike (dismissals of Liton Das and Mohammad Naim) in the third over set the tone for Bangladesh's innings as the side failed to recover from the early setbacks. Tymal Mills was the pick of the bowlers, picking three wickets in the innings while Liam Livingstone dismissed Mushfiqur and Mahmudullah to return impressive figures of 3/15 in three overs. Earlier, Bangladesh had won the toss and opted to bat first.

England secure their second successive victory in the Super 12s in style. The bowling lineup stepped up to the occasion once again, and Jason Roy's quickfire fifty was central to the run-chase as Dawid Malan (28*) and Jos Buttler (18) contributed efficiently for the win.
Roy falls on 61
The opener was in a hurry to finish the game and falls to Shoriful Islam in the 13th over. Roy went for a scoop but there wasn't enough pace in the delivery. Nasum Ahmed takes an impressive catch at third man.
England 114/2 in 13 overs; Target - 125
50 for Jason Roy!
The England opener brings up his seventh T20I half-century with a lofted boundary over the bowler's head. Excellent innings from Roy so far, and England are steering towards a second win in the Super 12s.
England 104/1 in 12 overs; Target - 125
90/1 in 10 overs
This has been a largely one-sided affair so far, with Roy and Malan finding easy runs on almost every ball now. Even a miracle may not work for Bangladesh here.
Easy strike rotation
Roy and Malan are finding easy singles as Bangladesh lack any sense of urgency here. It seems like an exhibition now, with clear difference in quality between both sides in this game.
England 83/1 in 9 overs; Target - 125
Malan joins the party!
The left-hander plays a cheeky reverse-paddle for a four against Nasum Ahmed on the first delivery, and ends the over with a smacking cover drive for another four. Another good over for England as the batters accumulate 12 off it.
England 75/1 in 8 overs; Target - 125
Roy's attack continues
The England opener is undeterred with Buttler's dismissal. He takes on Mahedi Hasan in his first over, charging down the track for a six over bowler's head before cutting a length delivery square for a four. England racing away towards a win as Bangladesh in a dire need of another breakthrough.
England 63/1 in 7 overs; Target - 125
WICKET! Buttler departs
Nasum Ahmed gets the breakthrough! Jos Buttler lofts a length delivery wide of long-off and Mohammad Naim takes a good catch. The England batter played for the turn but the ball slides in, which traps him at an awkward angle.
England 40/1 in 5 overs; Target - 125
Poor lengths from Bangladesh
Chris Woakes had mentioned in the mid-innings interview that his focus was largely on hitting the deck as hard as he could, adding that it was a "two-paced pitch." Bangladesh bowlers, however, have largely kept their lengths full, allowing easy runs for both English openers.
Bangladesh 37/0 in 4 overs; Target - 125
Buttler goes big!
Buttler slams the first six of England's innings! He charges down the track and smacks the full delivery straight over bowler's head! 8 off the over.
England 26/0 in 3 overs; Target - 125
Expensive over!
Jason Roy finds two boundaries against Mustafizur Rahman as the second over fetches 11 runs. The England opener barely survives on the final delivery, however, as he finds a thick inside-edge for a boundary towards deep fine-leg. An expensive over for Bangladesh.
England 18/0 in 2 overs; Target - 125
Roy starts with a 4!
Jason Roy means business. He slaps the very first ball towards deep cover for a boundary. Shakib makes a good comeback, conceding three in the remaining over.
England 7/0 in 1 over; Target - 125
The chase begins!
Jason Roy and Jos Buttler open for England. Mahmdullah takes a leaf out of England captain Eoin Morgan's book, as he hands the ball to Shakib Al Hasan for the first over. (Morgan, as KKR captain, opened with Shakib as strike bowler during the business end of IPL 2021)
Bangladesh 124/9 in 20 overs
An excellent bowling performance from England yet again. Bangladesh could never recover from the initial setbacks in Moeen Ali's over when he dismissed both openers on successive deliveries. Mushfiqur Rahim (29) led a rebuild alongside Mahmudullah (19), but his wicket triggered a batting collapse for the side. Nasum Ahmed's late fireworks (19 off 9 balls) steered Bangladesh to a respectable score.
Two sixes in the 19th over!
Talk about the commentator's curse.
There had been no sixes so far; now there are two in five balls. Nasum Ahmed hits two sixes off Adil Rashid; both over the deep midwicket area. They need a few more of those! A good over for Bangladesh as they score 17 off it.
Bangladesh 119/7 in 19 overs
100 up for Bangladesh
Bangladesh reach the three-figure mark in the 18th over of the game. Only nine fours and no sixes in their innings so far.
Bangladesh 102/7 in 18 overs
7 down!
Mahedi Hasan goes for an adventurous scoop but fails to beat the fielder at fine leg. Bangladesh continue to sink further.
Bangladesh 98/7 in 17.1 overs
Lucky runs!
Mahedi Hasan finds a lucky four on the final ball of the 16th over as a thick outside-edge on a defensive shot goes past wicketkeeper Jos Buttler. Bangladesh won't mind these runs, though. 7 off Mills' second over.
Bangladesh 90/6 in 16 overs
Mahmudullah departs!
It has been yet another solid performance from the English bowlers. With runs dried up, the Bangladesh captain had no other option but to go for a big hit. He steps out against Livingstone to push a fullish delivery towards cover, but finds a thick outside edge - thanks to the slight movement off-the-surface. An easy catch for Woakes at backward point.
Bangladesh 83/6 in 15 overs
WHAT A BLUNDER!
RUN OUT! Mahmudullah is on his knees as he looks in horror at Afif Hossain! A huge mixup between both the batters and it's Hossain who is eventually dismissed at the keeper's end.
Tymal Mills' misfield turns into a blessing in disguise for England. The batters try to steal a second run but the Englishman recovers in time to collect the delivery and fire a throw at Buttler, who makes no mistake to dislodge the bails.
Bangladesh 76/5 in 13 overs
Woakes keeps it tight
Another excellent over from Woakes as he concedes only three runs. Brilliant captaincy from Morgan as well, as he brings his strike bowler straight after the fourth wicket.
Bangladesh need a partnership but they also need to maintain a quick flow of runs.
Bangladesh 66/4 in 12 overs
OUT! Mushfiqur falls!
BIG WICKET. Liam Livingstone gets Mushfiqur Rahim after an excellent review! The Bangladesh batter goes for a reverse-sweep but misses the line completely and gets caught in front of the stumps.
Bangladesh 63/4 in 10.4 overs
Bangladesh 60/3 in 10 overs
A couple of good overs for Bangladesh take their run-rate to six after the half-way mark of the innings. Mushfiqur Rahim has been finding spaces as he reaches 27 in as many deliveries, while captain Mahmudullah is rotating the strike efficiently as well.
50 up!
Bangladesh bring up fifty in the 10th over of the game. The side needs a partnership and both, Rahim and Mahmudullah have been careful with their shots so far.
Bangladesh 50/3 in 9.1 overs
