PLAYER RATINGS: Sophia Dunkley leads England to comfortable win over Bangladesh

The Cricketer looks at the individual performances from England's Women's World Cup win against Bangladesh

ENGLAND

Tammy Beaumont (33): Not at her most fluent and struggled for timing on a desperately slow pitch, but held the top order together after yet more early wickets 6

Danni Wyatt (6): Not for the first time in this competition, slapped a cut straight at point and fell cheaply 2

Heather Knight (6; 1-14): Edged behind cheaply, having come to the crease earlier than she would no doubt like once again 4

Nat Sciver (40; 0-13): Untroubled with the bat until curiously trapped in front as she advanced down the pitch and missed a googly from Fahima; took the new ball in Shrubsole's absence 6

Amy Jones (31): One of several players caught in front of the wicket but played a useful hand and looked increasingly classy in doing so, including the shot of the match through extra cover on the up 6

Sophia Dunkley (67): Excellent knock at a rate that was not easy on a difficult pitch for stroke-play - a crucial contribution after England had threatened to land themselves in a hole after opting to bat first; missed an easy runout chance with the first ball of Bangladesh's reply 8

Katherine Brunt (24*; 0-7): Good with the bat in a position that still feels one too high; used sparingly with the ball in anticipation of what's to come 5

Sophie Ecclestone (17*: 3-15): England's only six flew off her bat to provide some late impetus; found plenty of turn on a pitch being used for the third time and exploited it beautifully 8

Charlie Dean (3-31): 10 wickets in just four World Cup matches now for the off-spinner, who returned to the side in fine style 7

Kate Cross (0-18): A couple of catches but otherwise played a bit-part role along with her fellow senior seamers 5

Freya Davies (2-36): Did a decent job for her side running into the wind, and was namechecked by Knight afterwards; unlikely that she retains her place when Anya Shrubsole returns 6

BANGLADESH

Sharmin Akhter (23): Slow but solid start ended by Ecclestone's class – one ball turning and bouncing past her outside edge, only for the next to skid through onto her stumps 4

Shamima Sultana (23): Wasn't going anywhere fast but looked comfortable enough; fell in trying to break the shackles, chipping to mid-off 4

Fargana Hoque Pinky (11): Unable to get going and eventually clipped Dean straight to midwicket 3

Nigar Sultana Joty (22): Kept beautifully and, like those above her in the order, ground out a start with the bat 6

Rumana Ahmed (6; 0-13): Cleaned up by Davies cheaply via inside edge and back pad; earlier went wicketless through three overs 3

Lata Mondal (30; 1-32): As with Moni's wicket of Beaumont, had Jones caught driving through the off-side; top-scored for Bangladesh before miscuing a sweep to mid-on 6

Salma Khatun (2; 2-46): Bowled nicely to have England in an early spot of bother, with Knight feathering a cut behind, before returning to end Dunkley's knock 6

Ritu Moni (11; 1-36): Intelligent spell after realising it was difficult to hit through the line on a slow pitch, a tactic that promptly did for Beaumont; played one of the shots of the match with a punch through cover 6

Nahida Akter (0; 0-42): Wicketless but tidy for the most part after coming into the attack early 5

Fahima Khatun (0; 1-24): Bangladesh's most expensive economy rate but claimed the key wicket of Sciver on review with a delivery that didn't appear to be a googly but drifted in nonetheless 4

Jahanara Alam (3;*  1-39): The quickest of Bangladesh's seamers; ran in heartily, often with her run-up skewed by the breeze, and had Wyatt caught at point 5
