Heather Knight reprieved on two catches and lbw decision
England survived a nervy wobble with the bat to beat Bangladesh by four wickets in Guwahati and go top of the table at the World Cup.
Bangladesh reduced England to 103 for six chasing 179 but a watchful 79-run partnership between Heather Knight and Charlie Dean steadied the ship, helped by the absence of Bangladesh’s key strike bowler, Marufa Akter, for the last 15 overs of the chase.
