England have played three matches at the T20 World Cup, beating Nepal, losing to West Indies and winning a nervy game against Scotland. Captain Harry Brook said the side has not made it easy and must improve.
A victory over Italy on Monday will send England into the Super 8s, where two wins from three could secure a semi‑final spot. England have won three World Cups before, but only India went unbeaten in 2024. Recent struggles include Jos Buttler failing to reach 40 for the eighth time and Phil Salt’s criticism of the team's performance.
