Eoin Morgan’s bat-flaws, according to Aakash Chopra, could be one of England’s weak links in tonight’s T20 World Cup 2021 match against the West Indies.
Morgan had a bad run with the bat in the IPL 2021, but he did lead the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to the final. England skipper Joe Root sat out England’s first T20 World Cup warm-up match against India, and the team scored just 10 runs against New Zealand in their following match.
“The captain does not have the form. A captain who does not have form at times doesn’t make the right decisions – when you will come to bat, you are saving and hiding yourselves, didn’t play the warm-up match as well,” he said
Morgan has already stated that if his poor form prevents England from winning, he will not hesitate to sit out. He’s not likely to make that call at the start of the tournament, though. Aakash Chopra
“None of them is a gun death bowler. All of them seem alike to me. None of them has a gun yorker, all bowl short balls, they all bowl more length balls. They take wickets with the new ball but get hit a lot with the old ball. That is the general template that has been created. So they will miss Jofra Archer there.” he said
“The West Indies bowling is 100% weak. It looks like a very okay kind of bowling lineup to me. If they have to bowl second and the ball becomes even slightly wet, they will not be able to defend 180-190 also.” he added
Dwayne Bravo
For death bowling, the West Indies will rely heavily on Dwayne Bravo’s experience. They will, however, be without Sunil Narine, who was in superb form in the UAE leg of the IPL 2021.
