**Headline: Heather Knight’s Lucky Escape Powers England to Narrow World Cup Win Over Bangladesh**
**Summary:**
England narrowly defeated Bangladesh by four wickets in a Women’s World Cup match, overcoming a shaky start thanks to a resilient unbeaten knock of 79 from Heather Knight. Bangladesh looked poised for an upset after their bowlers ripped through England’s top order, leaving them struggling at 78 for 5. However, Knight, who was named player of the match, survived multiple close calls – including a dropped catch that replays showed may have brushed the ground, a contentious not-out decision on an lbw appeal, and another dropped catch – to steer England to victory. Bangladesh’s Sobhana Mostary’s 60 and Rabia Khan’s quickfire 43 set a defendable target for Bangladesh of 178, which their bowlers nearly defended. Fahima Khatun took three wickets for Bangladesh, causing problems for the English. Sophie Ecclestone starred with the ball for England, taking 3 wickets for 24 runs. The win keeps England’s World Cup campaign on track after a dominant victory in their opening match against South Africa.
