T20 World Cup 2021: 3 Teams that are favourites to win the title

2. England

The last time the T20 World Cup was played, England just missed out on their opportunity to win their second title. Carlos Braithwaite broke the hearts of all English fans as Ben Stokes wasn’t able to keep his nerve. However, five years since then, Stokes has won a World Cup for England and his team has become one of the favourites to take home the 2021 title.

England’s rise in the shortest format has a lot to do with more and more players participating in the IPL. From Jos Buttler to Eoin Morgan to Stokes, there are several English players who have been top buys for the IPL franchises. The experience of each of these players, having played in the cash-rich league will give them a broad understanding of the Indian conditions.

In the 43 T20Is played since the final of the 2016 T20 World Cup, England has won 24 matches. In the recent series in India, they showed why their line-up is a serious contender for the upcoming World Cup. On top of that, they have an inspirational, calm captain who has an arsenal of players who provide him with the luxury of using various combination and still get results.
