England

England was lucky in the 2nd ODI as their skipper led from the front and helped the team to complete the chase. Overall, the team has been a failure in every segment. The top order, including Phil Salt, Will Jacks, and Jordan Cox have failed to give the team a good start. Except for Liam Livingstone and Sam Curran, no other batsman in the middle order has contributed to the scoreboard.

On the bowling front, the team is only dependent on Adil Rashid. Their pace unit, including John Turner and Jofra Archer, have failed to scalp wickets. It shows that England is a team that is weak but they have luck on their side.
