Blown away by New Zealand in their opening match, defending champions England must regroup swiftly and stymie unforced errors to ignite their campaign.
Against the Kiwis, the team was let down in both batting and bowling. Most batters got their eye in then gave away their wickets away through misplaced cockiness.
The fact that they bat deep, almost till no.11, became a millstone rather than a virtue as rash self-indulgence took over.
Even so, 282 looked defendable considering the purchase New Zealand’s bowlers had got from the pitch, but England’s bowlers flopped badly.
A nine-wicket defeat is huge in this format, but what will have hurt England is the manner in which they were walloped by Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway.
The failure of Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid , where New Zealand’s part-time spinners Glenn Phillips and Ravindra succeeded, was particularly dismaying.
On paper, Bangladesh look considerably weaker than a team loaded with superstars. But white ball cricket can be astonishingly topsy-turvy.
Moreover, in a facile victory over Afghanistan in their first match, the Shakib Al Hasan-led team looked to have the arsenal – and the desire – to do well in this tournament. More runs from the top order would make them even stronger.
