BAN vs ENG 1st ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
The first match of the Bang Vs Eng ODI series between Bangladesh and England is all set to commence on March 1, 2023 at Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. The game is expected to kick off at 11:00 AM local time.
Bangladesh are currently ranked number 6 in the World Cup Super League Points Table. Contrary, to their record in overseas conditions, the Bangla tigers have an impressive bilateral series record at home and have by far looked like one of the most dominating sides in recent times. Their series victory of 2-1 which came last year against a mighty Indian side would do their confidence a whole world of good.
On the other hand, England finds itself ranked 3rd in the World Cup Super League Points Table. Driven by the bazzball theory, this dynamic English side has played some attacking cricket off late. Leading up to this fixture, they too have convincingly registered major series victories against subcontinent rivals like Pakistan and Sri Lanka, but however, their preceding series defeat against South Africa would haunt them a fraction.
Bangladesh has had a very formidable win percentage in their recent games. They registered comfortable series victories against Zimbabwe and India at home. However, by looking at their overall win percentage in ODI cricket, the tigers have a dismal-looking record as they have contested 403 matches in which they won 146 matches and lost 250 matches with 7 matches ending without any outcome.
England on the other hand had an unimpressive outing in their last games against Australia and South Africa where they suffered some major defeats. They will surely be looking to keep this behind them and focus on the upcoming fixture in hand. Overall, England is much more experienced in comparison to Bangladesh as they have appeared in 776 ODIs in which they won 390 matches and faced defeat in 347 matches with 30 matches ending without any result.
With depth in their lineup coupled with the high-quality experience of premium in-form players, we expect England to outclass the Tigers in a clinical fashion.

BAN vs ENG Match Toss Prediction
The surface at Shere Bangla National Stadium tends to be on the slower side and holds up more often as the innings progress. Winning the toss and electing to bat first may not be a bad ploy at all provided that the winning captain’s side gets sufficient runs on the board.
BAN vs ENG, Shere Bangla National Stadium Pitch Report
The recently concluded BPL tournament served as an indication that the pitch overall assisted the batters with the batters being able to play through the line even during the latter half of their innings, especially during the evening games under lights. With that being said, there is also something for the seam bowlers as they are likely to get assistance off the pitch early on in the innings with the new ball yet again.
Dhaka Weather Report
The weather at Dhaka is going to be very sunny with expected maximum and minimum temperatures of 33 C and 20 C respectively. However, there is little to no chance of rain but the humidity rate is expected to remain moderately high around 60%.

Bangladesh Team News & Playing 11
BAN Team News
Bangladesh would be looking to keep their spin-bowling all-rounder options intact to see how it plays out in the opening game of the Eng vs Bang 2023 series.
BAN Key Players
- Tamim Iqbal - The Bangladeshi skipper has loads of experience and is by far one of the most consistent batsmen in the history of Bangladesh cricket. Known for his aggressive style of play at the top of the order, he averaged 48.5 in his last 10 ODI innings. Besides, he has the highest score of 158 and a healthy striker rate of just under 80 making him one of the most assured batsmen to contend with if you’re a bowler.
- Liton Das - The Bangladeshi wicket-keeper batsman is in the unbelievable form of his life. Last year alone, he amassed over 400 runs at an average of over 48. With a lethal striker rate of over 85 and 5 ODI centuries to his name already, Das is surely a force to reckon with.
- Mehidy Hasan- The 25-year-old started off as a lower-order spin bowling all-rounder back in 2016, but has now evolved as a fully matured cricketer. He has a knack for picking up wickets and has already registered five 4-wicket hauls to his name. Besides, he has also bailed his side out of trouble on a number of occasions with the bat. His heroics low down the order with the bat against India helped Bangladesh clinch the series comfortably.
BAN Team Form
Bangladesh have won 3 out of the last 5 games. Their last defeat came against India in a very humiliating fashion and the Tigers would be hoping to avoid slip-ups at all costs.

England Team News & Playing 11
ENG Team News
In a recent press conference, Jos Buttler revealed that he is looking forward to the challenge of playing on slow and low wickets and these are exactly the conditions his team needs in order to gear up for tough situations.
ENG Key Players
- Jos Buttler – Buttler has recorded a phenomenal batting average in the past calendar year averaging over 70. He has played some very high-scoring knocks last year in the T20 World Cup down under which made them victorious. Furthermore, he emerged as the highest run scorer in the England tour of South Africa 2023 ODI series and was adjudged player of the series despite his side going down very badly against the Proteas.
- Dawid Malan – Malan has emerged as one of the most reliable batters for England in modern-day cricket. His ODI batting figures are nothing short of outstanding with a career-best of 134 and a lethal batting average and striker rate of 53 and 97 respectively. If he gets going, the bowlers usually tend to have a hard time out to contain his onslaught.
- Jason Roy – Roy is one of the leading run scorers for the Pomps in the past year. He has amassed a total of 458 runs at a healthy average of 35.23 in just 14 innings. He strikes the ball well since his strike rate both in T20I and ODI cricket is well over 100. He has so far registered a career-best of 180 with 11 ODI centuries to his name while his batting average is just under 40. With such numbers, bowlers eyeing up to face him can surely go the distance if they don’t get it right early on.
ENG Team Form
England have won just a single game in their past 5 fixtures. They have had to endure 4 successive defeats before registering a face-saving win against South Africa in their last game. A question mark certainly looms over their ongoing performance issues in the bilateral ODI series.
England Predicted Playing 11
Jos Buttler (c), Jason Roy, Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, Sam Curran, Mark Wood, Dawid Malan, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt (WK), Chris Woakes, Reece Topley

Bangladesh vs England Betting Odds
Since the game is being played on Bangladeshi soil, we can expect the Tigers to stand and challenge the Pomps till the very end. But our win predictor tilts slightly in favour of England as they have some very explosive players who can take the game away on any day once they get going.
