England and Bangladesh have had a contrasting start to their ODI World Cup campaigns. While the defending champions England were handed a brutal reality check by New Zealand, Bangladesh outmuscled Afghanistan with a brilliant all-round performance. The Three Lions were beaten by a huge margin of nine wickets by the Blackcaps which ultimately had an adverse effect on their Net Run Rate (NRR). Shakib Al Hasan's men defeated Afghanistan by six wickets and began their campaign in the best-possible manner.
