THE PREDICTION

As is so often the case when Bangladesh come out on the right end of a result, it was all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan who played a starring role for the Tigers, who beat England by 50 runs in Chittagong to secure a consolation victory in the third of three ODIs. Now, the three-match T20i series gets underway at the same venue and a much-improved England with the bat in particular is expected. The T20 world champions will relish the opportunity of playing on a similar sort of pitch as to what they will come across in India later in the year as they look to defend their title. Bangladesh continues to be over-reliant on one or two players, whilst England can hurt the Tigers via many different routes. With that in mind, back England to draw first blood in this T20i series as they did in the ODI fixtures.
