A masterful century from Dawid Malan gave England a 1-0 series lead against Bangladesh in the three-match ODI series on Wednesday (March 1). Malan displayed excellent game awareness as England were forced to ditch their aggressive brand of cricket on a tricky surface in Dhaka in pursuit of 210. Eventually, they huffed and puffed before getting home with eight balls to spare
