Analysis
The batting lineup of England brought their A game against Bangladesh with Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root scoring fifties, while the star of the show was Dawid Malan notching up an ODI World Cup hundred to savour. The introduction of Reece Topley paid dividends for England after he picked up early wickets in the powerplay to help his side defeat Bangladesh by 137 runs.
Meanwhile, Afghanistan had a decent outing with the bat against the hosts India, with the captain Hashmatullah Shahidi and Azmatullah Omarzai putting up fifties on the board. But, the bowlers of Afghanistan were demolished to all corners of the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, which led to the team succumbing to an eight-wicket loss with 90 deliveries left to be bowled.
