In their second match of the ICC World Cup 2023, being held in Dharamsala, Bangladesh has chosen to bowl first against England. 

The Tigers have made one change in the playing XI, opting to rest Mahmudullah Riyad and bring in Mahedi Hasan.

Bangladesh secured a convincing victory in their opening match against Afghanistan, winning by six wickets.
