Right-handed opener Litton Das departed after a stylish 76, leaving Bangladesh with an even more formidable task in Dharamsala, chasing 365 against England in their second ICC World Cup match.
After losing the toss, England set a substantial total of 364. They amassed 298 runs by the 40th over, but Bangladesh managed to limit them to 66 runs in the final 10 overs.
Mahidy Hasan claimed four wickets for Bangladesh, while Shoriful Islam secured three.
In response, Bangladesh gained an initial boost with Litton scoring 12 runs in the first over, including three fours. However, in the subsequent over, Bangladesh lost two wickets, with Najmul Hossain Shanto falling for a first-ball duck.
Shakib Al Hasan and Mehidy Hasan Miraz struggled to stabilize the innings. Shakib managed just one run, while Mehidy contributed eight.
During the fifth-wicket partnership, Litton and Mushfiqur Rahim put together a crucial 72 off 75 balls, demonstrating resilience in the face of a daunting challenge. However, Litton`s dismissal has left Bangladesh grappling to keep pace.
By the end of the 22nd over, Bangladesh were at 126 for five.
