Mirpur Shere Bengal’s wicket is slow and low. Spinners get advantage here. As a good run on a wicket. There are also low scoring wickets. England’s right-arm spin all-rounder Moeen Ali mentioned that the groundsmen know what the wicket will be like in the pre-match press conference. However, he also said that they will play aggressive cricket regardless of the wicket.

Moeen Ali said, “Of course I will play aggressive cricket. We are playing aggressive cricket all over the world. It has to be played in different conditions with different challenges and different plans. But our mindset remains the same. Anyone who bowls badly in any condition will take chances. We are confident.’

England have lost seven of their last 10 ODIs. No result in one. Although they are in the top three in the ODI Super League table. According to Moeen Ali, they have not won in eight matches as it is true. It is also true that they are world champions. So he is unwilling to accept Bangladesh as a favorite.

Moeen said, “Who is the favorite is not important. Bangladesh is a very good team in its own condition. We are world champions even though we have not won in eight matches. We haven’t played the best teams recently. But Mark Wood, Archer is back. There is Will Jack. The team is good even if some of the cricketers are not available for the Test series. It is difficult to say who is the favorite before the end of the series.

In the ODI format, scoring big runs or chasing big runs is the responsibility of England’s pair. With Jos Buttler, Will Jack, Moeen Ali, the team is considered ‘slugger’. Who turned into explosive batters after half of the innings. But Moeen thinks they are used to aggressive cricket rather than ‘slugger’.

He said, ‘There is still a place for classic cricket in ODIs. We are not sluggers. Our team is good and they are used to aggressive cricket. Batters mostly play cricketing shots. They take time to settle at the crease first and then play the normal game the way it should be played. They are confident and don’t fear getting out when they play like that. We want to take the team forward and that’s how we play cricket.’
