Queenstown: Captain Harry Brook scored a fine century as England defeated Bangladesh by seven wickets on Thursday to put themselves in line to top Group C in the ICC U-19 Cricket World Cup.
Brook's 102 not out was supplemented with a fine all- round effort of 48 not out and three for 26 by Euan Woods as the 1998 champions completed a second straight win.
England are at par with Bangladesh on four points and a win over Canada on Saturday will enable them to top the group with six points, also making Bangladesh as the second side to qualify for the Super League quarterfinals.
Canada remained in contention for a place in the Super League quarterfinals from Group C when they defeated Namibia by four wickets at the Bert Sutcliffe Oval in Christchurch. However, Canada will have to convincingly beat England and improve their net run-rate to reach the Super League quarter-finals.
