Buoyed by the emphatic win over the defending champions West Indies, England would look to continue its winning momentum when they faces Bangladesh in a Super 12 clash of the T20 World Cup in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates today.
Their bowling unit was right on the job as the Eoin Morgan-led England bundled out West Indies for a paltry 55 in 14.2 overs before cantering home in 8.2 overs.
Against an opposition which is familiar with the sluggish sub-continent conditions and capable of producing upsets, Morgan will ill-afford to rest on the laurels.
With the match starting in the afternoon, the reigning ODI world champions will be tested in the oppressive heat of Abu Dhabi where temperature soars above 32 degrees.
Teams have been successful in chasing so far in the World Cup at this venue, with three out of four games being won by the team batting second.
For Bangladesh - which has an abysmal World Cup record with just one of its seven wins since 2007 coming against a Test playing nation (West Indies) - the key would be to exploit the conditions in its first ever T20I World Cup clash against England. (Agencies)
