England is clashing with Bangladesh in a Group B match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 today at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium, Chittagong, Bangladesh.
A Bangladesh vs England match would normally not grab eyeballs or newsprint, but this particular Ban vs Eng match is important for both teams since it is part of the World Cup, since England and Bangladesh both fancy their chances of making the top 4 in Group B, and since Bangladesh is under phenomenal pressure from its fans who want something special from a World Cup happening in their own country for the first time.
Indeed, the match is threatening the TRPs of the other big fixture today,
WI vs Ireland.
Bangladesh won the toss and elected to field.
