England and Bangladesh are taking on each other in the seventh match of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala.

England, put on a formidable display of batting, amassing a mammoth total of 364/9. Amidst England’s batting fireworks, a stunning catch by Towhid Hridoy and Najmul Hossain Shanto stole the spotlight.

England’s Dominant Batting Display

England’s decision to bat first paid off as their top-order batsmen dominated the Bangladeshi bowling attack. Dawid Malan emerged as the star of the innings with an extraordinary century. Malan’s scintillating knock saw him score 140 runs off just 107 balls, comprising 16 boundaries and 5 towering sixes. Former England captain Joe Root also made a significant contribution, smashing 82 runs off 68 deliveries, including 8 fours and a six. Opening batsman Jonny Bairstow set the stage with a brisk 52 off 59 balls.

The catch that stole the show

While Bangladesh struggled to contain the English batsmen, they found a moment of brilliance in the field. Hridoy and Shanto combined forces to execute a breathtaking catch that dismissed Adil Rashid. The spectacular catch occurred during the penultimate over of England’s innings when Rashid attempted a big hit towards cow corner. However, Rashid failed to connect cleanly, sending the ball soaring towards deep mid-wicket.

Hridoy, stationed at deep mid-wicket, exhibited exceptional athleticism as he leaped to pluck the ball out of the air. In an astonishing display of teamwork, Hridoy, who was perilously close to the boundary ropes, instinctively tossed the ball towards Shanto, who was stationed nearby. Shanto made no mistake, completing the catch to send Rashid back to the pavilion.
