T20 World Cup 2021: Rating bowling attacks of top 8 teams ahead of the tournament

6. England

A team that is known for its attacking mindset right from ball one with the bat and ball, England has a good bowling attack but not as great as their batting. With the absence of their best white-ball bowler Jofra Archer, it is a void that is almost impossible to fill for Eoin Morgan. 

As a result, their bowling will be led by their highest wicket-taker in the current team, the wizard, Adil Rashid. The new ball bowling would be covered by the likes of Saqib Mahmood, Mark Wood and Sam Curran. This combination has variety in terms of the right-left angle as well as pace, with Mark Wood bowling over 145 km/h consistently. Their spin bowling unit also looks sorted with Adil Rashid, Moeen Ali and Matthew Parkinson in the mix and all of them have been in form for a while now.

However, the impact of Jofra Archer will be missed heavily in the death overs. Chris Jordan and Tom Curran lack consistency and are smashed quite often. If England are looking to win the WC, the equation is pretty straightforward. Chris Jordan, who is likely to play all matches, has to deliver at the death.
