Mahmudullah was the hero for Bangladesh as he hit a maiden ODI century to see the Tigers to a defendable score of 275 batting first.
The middle-order batsman was eventually run out for 103 from 138 balls, his ton the first World Cup century ever from a Bangladesh player.
Mushfiqur Rahim chipped in with a quick-fire 89 from 77 balls, but England would surely have been confident of successfully chasing, as some tight late bowling kept the target well below 300.
However, England looked nervy—unsurprisingly as it was a must-win game for Eoin Morgan and his side—and Moeen Ali was the first to go after a senseless run out, per BBC TMS:
Ian Bell reached 50, but as ever, the run rate was not high enough from the English batsmen, and a few quick wickets saw them 163-6 in the 36th over.
Jos Buttler and Chris Woakes combined well to get England back into the game, but the loss of the former for 65 in the 46th over effectively spelt the end.
Chris Jordan was unfortunate to be run out for a first-ball duck, per Sky Sports Cricket, but Stuart Broad and James Anderson were effectively dealt with by Rubel Hossain, and England were all out with nine balls remaining, 15 short of their target:
It was a deserved victory for Bangladesh who bowled with control as they effectively defended their relatively modest total.
England, on the other hand, were poor once again, their wickets falling much too regularly, and an early tournament exit comes as little surprise after a string of uninspiring performances.
They have still to play Afghanistan before returning home, but coach Peter Moores adequately expressed the crushing disappointment of England's displays, per BBC Sport:
Bangladesh go through to the quarter-finals—taking Sri Lanka with them—and the venue for their last-eight clash has already been decided, although their opponents are as yet unknown, per cricket writer Mazher Arshad:
The Tigers' likely opponents are India or South Africa, both teams who would be seen as heavy favourites to beat them, but Bangladesh's confidence and momentum will be high after Monday's result.
They finish off their group travails against an as yet unbeaten New Zealand side, and although they will be the underdogs, Bangladesh are sure to cause the Kiwis some problems, as they will whoever they face in the last eight.
