Opener Jason Roy struck an incredible knock of 153 runs before the England bowlers produced a stunning performance to help England register a crushing 106-run win over Bangladesh in Match 12 of the 2019 International Cricket Council (ICC) World Cup at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff on Saturday. 

After being asked to bat first, Roy (153 off 121 balls) and his opening partner Jonny Bairstow (51) stitched a 128-run partnership for the opening wicket before Jos Buttler pulled back a 64-run knock off just 44 balls to help England post mammoth score of 386 for six in their stipulated 50 overs.

In reply, Shakib Al Hasan's 121-run knock off 119 balls and Mashfiqur Rahim's 50-ball 44 went in vain as the England bowlers bundled out Bangladesh for 280 runs in 48.5 overs to emerge out victorious. (Full Scorecard: ICC World Cup 2019, England vs Bangladesh)
