On the other hand, England were poor throughout the T20 series, failing to accelerate in the slog overs in the first game, the visitor’s batting performance in the second game was even worse, failing to cross the 120-run mark. However, the bowling front did really well to make a match out of the below-par scores. Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali have performed well but the likes of Sam Curran and Chris Woakes haven’t shown promise with the ball. In the two games, Chris Jordan was way too underutilized. The tactic to drop Jos Buttler down in the order backfired and he might get back to the top of the order. Dawid Malan did well in the ODIs but his T20I performances so far in the series don’t show any promise. Phil Salt and Ben Duckett have looked the best of all. Rehan Ahmed will continue to play but Archer might get a rest with Mark Wood getting another opportunity in the tour.
