Jason Roy ton steers England to victory in 2nd Bangladesh ODI

Jason Roy’s century and Sam Curran’s all-round performance helped England beat Bangladesh by 132 runs in the second one-day international in Dhaka on Friday.

The win, which gave England valuable practice on spinning, low-bouncing South Asian pitches ahead of the 50-over World Cup in India later this year, meant the visitors took the series 2-0. Taken and one match left.

With the help of Curran’s 4-29 and Adil Rashid’s 4-45, England bowled out Bangladesh for 194 in 44.4 overs. Year.

The win made England the first team in six years to win an ODI series in Bangladesh, having last won a series here in 2016.

Curran, replacing Chris Woakes, took three wickets in five balls in the first two overs, including two wickets in the first over, to put Bangladesh at 9–3.

The hosts never recovered from the loss despite veteran all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan scoring 58.

Shakib and captain Tamim Iqbal shared a 79-run stand for the fourth wicket before Moeen Ali dismissed Tamim for 35 to end their resistance. Shakib was caught by Curran at extra cover on Rashid’s ball.

Bangladesh, who were playing their 100th ODI at Mirpur, elected to bowl first and kept the tourists in check early on.

Top-order batsmen Phil Salt (7), James Vince (5) and debutant centurion Dawid Malan (11) were all dismissed cheaply. But Roy and captain Butler shared a 109-run partnership for the fourth wicket to give England a lift.

Roy was gone when Shakib got him out leg.

Buttler took charge until he was dismissed by Mehdi for 76 off 64 balls.

Moeen played a blistering 42 off 35 balls for the ODI and T20 world champions England.

Curran, one of two changes in England’s side, played his part in the three-wicket win in the first match on Wednesday, scoring an unbeaten 33 off 19 balls.
