‘Absolutely a class player’ – Fans react as Dawid Malan scores hundred to put England in command in ODI World Cup 2023 vs Bangladesh

The England cricket team has locked horns against Bangladesh on October 10 for their second ODI World Cup 2023 clash at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association in Dharamshala. Notably, English star cricketer Dawid Malan hammered a wonderful century during the play. The southpaw has struck out 140 runs from just 107 balls, featuring 16 boundaries and five sixes with a solid strike rate of 131.

Speaking about the game here, it was Bangladesh skipper Shakib-Al-Hasan who won the toss and invited the English team to bat first. After being set to bat first, England’s wicketkeeper-batsman, Jonny Bairstow, has hammered half a century and secured a great partnership with Dawid Malan. Notably, this was Bairstow’s 100th ODI appearance, which came in the marquee event.

Jonny Bairstow hammered 52 runs from 59 balls, featuring eight great boundaries during the play. Following him, the left-handed batsman Dawid Malan showed his lethal form and struck out a great century that boosted their top order. Following him, star cricketer Joe Root also hammered his half-century, securing the partnership with England skipper Jos Buttler.

Dawid Malan also looked brilliant in the recently concluded series against New Zealand

Notably, Dawid Malan also looked brilliant in the recently concluded series against New Zealand ahead of the ODI World Cup 2023. Notably, they won the series 3-1 against the Black Caps. However, the Jos Buttler-led side could not continue that great form and suffered a heartbreaking NRR defeat against New Zealand in the tournament opener on October 5 at the iconic Narendra Mod Cricket Stadium.

Meanwhile, the England team will look to get the big win against Bangladesh in the ongoing clash, as the defeat against the Black Caps on October 5 places them at the bottom of the points table. However, Bangladesh recorded a great win against Afghanistan in their opening game of the ODI World Cup 2023. Notably, the chase will be difficult for them in the clash against England, but they will still hunt to win their second ODI World Cup 2023 game.

100 up for Dawid Malan. This is his 6th ODI ton post the 2019 World Cup. And no wonder, he's the leading run-scorer for England in the last 4-year phase.
