England bounced back from their opening day defeat at the hands of New Zealand with a comprehensive 137-runs victory against Bangladesh in the match 7 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at Dharamsala on October 10, 2023. Led by Dawid Malan's 140 (107 balls) and contributions from Joe Root (82) and Jonny Bairstow (52), England posted a massive 364/9 in 50 overs. In reply, Shakib Al Hasan's side never got going and despite fifties from Litton Das (76) and Mushfiqur Rahim (51), they could not cope with the English bowling attack led by the lanky Recce Topley (4/43). Bangladesh were eventually bowled out for 227 in 48.2 overs as England got themselves on the winning note in this World Cup. (Match Report | Highlights | Full Coverage)
With that, English and Bangladesh players wrote themselves in the record books. Let's take a look at the statistical highlights from the ENG vs BAN 2023 ODI World Cup match in Dharamsala.
England' Dawid Malan Joins An Elite List
English opener Dawid Malan continued this incredible form this year as he joined an elite list of English stars David Gower and Jonny Bairstow with the joint-most ODI centuries in a calendar year for his country. Gower (1983) and Bairstow (2018) are now joined by Malan (2023) to have four ODI tons in a calendar year by an English batter.
Dawid Malan Fastest To Six ODI Tons
Another feat achieved by the southpaw in recordbreaking ton against Bangladesh. During this triple-figure innings, Malan also became the fastest player to reach six ODI centuries in the format. He achieved this feat in 23 innings. Malan overtook Pakistan's Imam-Ul-Haq, who previously held the record (27 innings for his sixth ODI century).
Jos Buttler's achieves this 'unique' record
England skipper Jos Buttler scalped his 25th dismissal as a England wicketkeeper in their game against Bangladesh, the most by a English wicketkeeper. By doing so, Buttler overtook Alec Stewart (23), Ian Gould (12) and Matt Prior (10).
