Queenstown (New Zealand), Jan 18 - Skipper Harry Brook led from the front with an unbeaten century as England thrashed Bangladesh by seven wickets in a Group C encounter of the ICC U-19 World Cup here on Thursday.
Brook remained unbeaten on 102 as England chased down a modest 176-run target in 29.3 overs. His 84-ball innings was studded with 13 boundaries and three sixes.
England have thus secured a spot in the next round as they are at the top of the group with four points after winning both the matches they have played so far. Bangladesh have virtually ensured their passage to the next round as they finished their group engagements wth four points from three matches.
In the unlikely scenario of minnows Canada beating England in the last match of Group C, the second team to advance from the group will be decided on net run rate as the North Americans are currently on two points.
England did not enjoy a great start to their innings as opener Tom Banton was caught behind off Bangladesh pacer Qazi Onik's bowling in the fourth over.
