So all the 10 teams in this World Cup now have played a game. Things hotting up nicely and tomorrow is another normal day when two (you know who) countries take on each other. Should be like any other game in this competition. We will be there nice and early for that one and for West Indies v Scotland. On that note we sign off from here. Do join us tomorrow for more. Till then take care and be well. Bye for now.
Heather Knight | England captain: Really nice to get a win. Pretty tough out there, conditions were tough?for batting and boundary-hitting, Danny and Bouchier did well. It is not going to be beautiful or sexy in these conditions. Happy with the score it was a good total. Surface got slower and lower. We weren't?far off-par, we pushed to 135 and that's what we prepared for. If we go on these conditions again, we need to graft and boundaries are hard to get, so minimise the dot balls and really happy for Linsey Smith, 6 years after her last T20 World Cup game for her to put in a performance?like this. We had a look at what the surface did and what the bounce was like. She was picked on the first game that we watched, we picked Linsey on how she bowled, for the?trajectory and she keeps the stumps in play with her height. That's what we have got to do, adapting to the conditions and watching that first game gave us a clue. [on facing South Africa] They had a convincing win in the first game, didn't they? They are always competitive, they bring the fire and passion but we have won here and looking forward to it.
Nigar Sultana | Bangladesh captain: We missed a good opportunity to beat a good side. Our bowlers have done a great job to restrict them. We kept the game in control after how they started in the powerplay. This kind of surface we need to have a good partnership. We did not get runs in the powerplay which cost us. I got out at the wrong time. [on Mostary] She played really well, last game also, pretty happy how she has been consistent and hope she does the same in the coming games.
Danielle Wyatt-Hodge | Player of the Match: Really nice to get out there. Tough conditions out there and good to contribute out there long may it continue. We did really well to get to that total, it (the pitch) was slow and low. It was better off to play with intent and we tried to get as much as we can. It's gonna be really challenging (talking about their next night game against South Africa in Sharjah), important to learn from tonight and be ready for that game (against South Africa).
20:57 Local Time, 16:57 GMT, 22:27 IST: England start their campaign on a winning note. It was always going to be about the spinners. And England had four of them. Three of them took wickets and it proved to be enough despite Ecclestone going wicketless. England also rushed their overs and before Bangladesh knew it they were behind the run-rate. Mostary and Joty were key for their side and the partnership was building when the latter ran herself out. Mostary kept fighting but she did not get much support from the others. Batting has been difficult here at Sharjah as we have seen over the four matches so far and tonight was no different. England got their tactics and fields spot-on and the bowlers executed their plans to perfection. Bangladesh who started with a win against Scotland fought well but end up losing tonight. Stay tuned for the presentation...
Ecclestone to Fahima Khatun, no run, Ecclestone goes wicketless. But England win by 21 runs. Nicely tossed up outside off, Fahima Khatun comes down the track to loft and misses, but is quick to get the bat down, a tiny part is inside the line when Amy Jones breaks the stumps
Stumping appeal sent upstairs. Not out.
Ecclestone to Rabeya Khan, 1 run, very full on the stumps, Rabeya Khan comes down the track and almost yorks herself, dug out to fine-leg
Ecclestone to Fahima Khatun, 3 runs, three fielders chase this and Knight wins the race. Fahima Khatun shuffles across and sweeps, off the glove over Jones and Ecclestone with a smile closes her mouth with her hands, unable to believe the shot
Ecclestone to Rabeya Khan, 1 run, flat good length on off, dabbed to short third man and Glenn does not hit direct. A direct-hit would have got Fahima Khatun, by the time Amy Jones breaks the stumps, Fahima Khatun is in
A run-out check sent upstairs. Fahima Khatun is in.
Ecclestone to Fahima Khatun, 1 run, tossed up outside off, this time the slogsweep finds deep mid-wicket
Ecclestone to Fahima Khatun, no run, slower and tossed up on off, Fahima Khatun looks for the slogsweep and misses, the extra bounce ensures it goes over off-stump
Sophie Ecclestone [3.0-0-15-0] is back into the attack
Charlie Dean to Rabeya Khan, no run, lovely delivery and Amy Jones has the bails off, but Rabeya Khan has her back foot grounded. It slides on straight as it is tossed up outside off, Rabeya Khan gets forward to push and nearly drags her foot out
Charlie Dean to Rabeya Khan, no run, tossed up full outside off, Rabeya Khan sweeps but no timing and again she picks out mid-wicket
Charlie Dean to Rabeya Khan, no run, tossed up full outside off, driven to the right of Charlie Dean, mid-wicket and Charlie Dean cut it off
Rabeya Khan, right handed bat, comes to the crease
Charlie Dean to Sobhana Mostary, out Lbw!! That should be the end of Bangladesh's hopes. Full delivery on middle and leg, Sobhana Mostary sweeps and misses, rapped on the pads, given out and she reviews. It's just clipping and the ump's call is enough for England. End of a battling knock from Sobhana Mostary. Sobhana Mostary lbw b Charlie Dean 44(48) [4s-1 6s-1]
Charlie Dean to Sobhana Mostary, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!
