In the seventh match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, England set a mountain-like target of 365 runs for Bangladesh, in response to which the Bangladeshi team was never seen chasing the target. In this match, England included fast bowler Reece Topley in the playing eleven in place of Moeen Ali and Topley proved his captain's decision right and destroyed the Bangladeshi top order.
The left-arm fast bowler provided early successes for England, including the prized wicket of Shakib Al Hasan. Topley bowled a dream ball to the Bangladesh captain to which he had no answer. Shakib's wicket fell in the sixth over of Bangladesh's run chase. Topley bowled the fourth ball of the sixth over on the stump line and Shakib missed the line of this ball and his wickets flew away. You can see Shakib's wicket below.
Apart from Shakib, Toplee also dismissed Tanjeed Hasan and Nazmul Hasan Shanto (golden duck). Till the time of writing the latest news, Bangladesh, chasing 365 runs, has scored 169 runs after losing 6 wickets in 34 overs. Topley took 4 of these 6 wickets for Bangladesh. For Bangladesh, Liton Das (76) and Mushfiqur Rahim (51) showed their fighting strength but apart from these two, no other batsman could do anything, that is why Bangladesh was left far behind in this match.
