Former Captain Heather Knight showcased his half -century trademarks of England to overcome Bangladesh’s strict challenge to close the four -wicket victory at the ICC World World Cup at Barsapara Stadium on Tuesday. Chasing 179, England was in a deep problem at 78 for five and then 103 for six before Knight anchored by 79 balls from 111 balls. His partnership with Charlie Dean, who still did not come out of 27 of 56 delivery, proved that both of them sewed together with the 79 stance for the seventh goal to bring home with 23 balls for replacement. Earlier, England’s decision for the first bowl was paid, with Trio Spin Sophie Ecclestone (3/24), Charlie Dean (2/28) and Alice Capsey (2/31) combined to block Bangladesh to 178. The Ecclestone spell stands out for its accuracy and control as he claims the main wicket through the middle. For Bangladesh, Sobhana Mostary provides stability with 60 out of 108 balls, while Rabeya Khan injects a late momentum in the scene of 43 out of just 27 balls. Their efforts helped the team recovered from a shaky start after losing the early wicket in PowerPlay. However, the pursuit of England started badly. Amy Jones fell to Marufa Akter, who hit again to reject Tammy Beaumont for 13 years. Early breakthrough was followed by twin player Fahima Khatun (3/16), including Captain Nat Sciver-Brunt for 32. Fahima continued to apply pressure, removing Emma Lamb to make it 69 for four, before Knight combined the scene by playing counted stroke and the defense. Its ability to absorb the pressure and choose the boundaries at an important intersection of turning the momentum firmly with England’s favor. Bangladeshi players, led by Fahima and Marufa, showed a commendable discipline and struggle, but Knight’s experience finally proved a challenging surface.
