Nasser Hussain, a former England captain, praised Eoin Morgan’s strategies and runs against Sri Lanka on Monday. As England’s domination in the present T20 World Cup progressed, Hussain praised the team’s versatility. However, the former footballer realized that the road ahead would be more difficult.
Morgan’s captaincy has contributed to England’s ruthlessness, but he also found form with the bat on Monday. Following a top-order collapse, the left-hander scored 40 runs and added 112 runs off 78 balls with Jos Buttler. That collaboration turned out to be a game-changer. Nasser Hussain
Hussain noted that England’s victory was crucial since it occurred after they lost the toss and chose to bat first, allowing the dew factor to play a role. According to Hussain, England needed to adapt to the conditions, and Morgan’s bowling options were advantageous.
“Not so much for this game but for the challenges they may face ahead, I was pleased as an England “fan”, if you like, that they had lost that toss because they were going to have to do it a different way at some stage.” he said

“They’re going to have to get used to dew; they’re going to have to get used to defending a target. They lost a bowler and luckily, they’ve got six bowlers that all give them something. Liam Livingstone has now bowled out twice in the last two games, so he is a proper sixth bowler.” he added
England is on the verge of securing a place in the semi-final with eight points from four games and a good NRR.
