This is third match for both teams. Both have won first game and lost in second game. So it like who will get their second win. England may be stronger than Bangladesh now, but their track record against Bangladesh in world cups were not good. Yes, out of 3 matches they won only one match against Bangladesh that too at super eight stage in 2007 world cup.
