England won the match against Bangladesh by 8 wickets with 35 balls to spare in their second Super 12 match in Abu Dhabi stadium on Wednesday.

Jason Roy, who played his 50th T20I match on Wednesday, made a blistering 61 runs off 38 balls. He hit three sixes, while the entire Bangladesh team had two.

After good bowling that contained Bangladesh within 124 for 9, England’s opening batters made 39 in 28 balls.

Earlier, winning the toss Bangladesh captain Mahmudullah chose to bat first. But Bangladesh could not come back to the game since they lost both openers early to reach 14. Veteran batter Mushfiqur Rahim tried to salvage the damage, but he was able to score only 29 runs.

England spinner Moeen Ali took wickets of both openers, Tymal Mills grabbed 3 wickets and Liam Livingstone 2.

Jason Roy was adjusted man of the match for his fine knock of 61.

With this win England tops Group 1 with 4 points.
