T20 World Cup 2021: One weakness of each qualified team

The mega event of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 is all set to commence in October. Ahead of the start of the high-profile event, there have been rounds of discussions on the team balance and squads. The cricket experts and onlookers are all coming forward with their suggestions and predictions for the marquee event.

For a tournament like that of the World Cup, each team would be aiming to bring their ‘A’ game to the table. The selectors must have put their thinking hats on for choosing the best combination that will walk the field.

However, more often than not, the teams lack in some aspects that get counted as their weakness. In the tournament, where top teams will battle it out against each other, every side might aim to hit at the weakness of the other.

Here is a weakness of each team ahead of the T20 World Cup 2021:

1. England

When one thinks of a strong team to feature in the tournament, England is certainly the name that comes to the mind. They are currently ranked as the number one T20 team in the ICC rankings. England are one of the most balanced sides with a good mix of youngsters and experienced players. However, one thing that might bother the team is the lack of experience in the fast bowling unit.

To pinpoint the weakness of a strong side like England is a tough job. But the experience of the pacers on the side might cause them problems. Mark Wood, Sam Curran, David Willey comparatively lack the experience of playing in the ICC events, while Jofra Archer’s elbow injury has made him an unlikely participant. 

In World Cup, there is pressure that often has the chances of affecting the performances of the players. Thus, England will have to make sure that their speedsters stood out for them in the crunch moments. If that doesn’t happen, it can backfire the team whilst some crucial matches.
