Pitch Report: What we observed in the last match - there was a good amount of grass on the pitch. There was movement with the new ball and we saw good bounce as well - this venue has seen more bounce compared to the other Indian grounds. At the same time, the ball will also come nicely onto the bat.

Fantasy Notes (Bangladesh) - vs England, Match 7, ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Prediction
Points to Consider
Najmul Hossain Shanto has been a consistent run scorer for Bangladesh in ODIs in 2023 and when he faced England earlier this year, he scored 2 half centuries in 3 matches. (58, 53, 0).
Mushfiqur Rahim vs England in ODIs: Inns - 15, Runs - 575, Avg - 41, 50s - 5; Back him as a differential in your team especially if Bangladesh bats first as this can be a tricky venue for the top order batters, so the middle order will be expected to step up in the case of a collapse.
Bangladesh has a quality pace bowling unit with Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam and Hasan Mahmud. We expect them to continue with this combo on this Dharamsala pitch which aids bounce - we will prefer them especially if they are bowling first because the batters should have it relatively easier in the second innings.
Fantasy Notes (England) - vs Bangladesh, Match 7, ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Prediction
Points to Consider
After their huge 9-wicket loss to New Zealand, England will be hoping to get their tournament back on track. It will not be easy against Bangladesh as they have a good bowling attack, and the pitch might not assist the batters to score runs without getting set at the crease. Although logically, good balls that are timed should travel well past the boundary due to the high altitude and relatively short boundaries on some areas of the ground.
England might not want to risk Ben Stokes in this match as he is still not considered fully fit. Additionally, fielding on the outfield at Dharamsala can put him at the risk of further worsening his injuries. Similarly, England can also rest Mark Wood in this match for similar reasons.
If England bowls first, their bowlers might be expected to trouble the Bangladesh batters much more with the kind of assistance we are expecting them to get at Dharamsala. Not only that, Bangladesh can be vulnerable with the bat on these tricky pitches.
Moeen Ali who is selected in just 30% of the teams will be one of our top differentials as Bangladesh has three left-handers in their top 4. His off-spin will come in handy, given that two out of those left-handers in the opposition's top 4 - Shakib and Najmul, are also their most important batters.
