England vs Bangladesh Head To Head

Bangladesh and England both rank among the top 10 international teams in limited-overs cricket. While England boasts a track record of success, clinching multiple ICC trophies, including the 2015 Cricket World Cup and the 2022 T20 World Cup, Bangladesh is yet to secure their first senior men’s trophy.

Shifting our focus to One Day International (ODI) cricket, the encounters between the Bangladesh and English cricket teams have been relatively brief. Their inaugural face-off in this format took place at Nairobi during the ICC Knockout in October 2000, with England emerging victorious, largely thanks to Alec Stewart’s half-century.

Since that initial clash, England has maintained a dominant position in head-to-head ODI matchups against Bangladesh, securing victories in 17 out of 21 encounters, while the Bangla Tigers have managed to secure only four wins.

In the most recent showdown between the two teams, which occurred at Cardiff during the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup, England emerged victorious. Conversely, Bangladesh’s last ODI victory against the English side dates back to October 2016 in Mirpur.

Paul Collingwood’s 6/31 at Nottingham in June 2005 stands as the best bowling figures in this rivalry. The all-rounder played a pivotal role in England’s victory as Bangladesh chased a formidable target of 392. 

Collingwood also bowled a maiden and maintained an impressive economy rate of 3.10 in the match.
