Bangladesh vs England
Bangladesh will play the second warm-up match of the ODI World Cup against England on Monday (October 2). The match will be played at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati at 2:30 PM. After a great win against the Lankans, the eyes of the Greens' representatives are red as they beat England to begin their main World Cup mission.
But Guwahati's weather forecast on the eve of the match has emerged as a major hurdle for the Tigers to achieve that dream. According to the weather forecast, there is a possibility of heavy rain in Guwahati for the next two weeks. On the day of the Bangladesh-England match, the temperature is said to be 25-33 degrees.
But it will feel like 39 degrees. Also, the sky will be cloudy all day. At the same time, there is a risk of heavy rain with lightning. And that's why there is concern about making the match on the field. Earlier, the match between India and England at this venue on Saturday (September 30) was abandoned due to rain.
If the match is lost, England will suffer more than Bangladesh. Because the defending champions will have to enter the main battle of the World Cup without any preparation matches in the conditions of the subcontinent. It certainly goes without saying that this is a big challenge for the World Cup winners.
England will begin their World Cup journey with a match against New Zealand on the opening day of October 5. Bangladesh's World Cup mission will begin on October 7. Their opponent in the first match is Afghanistan.
