#2) England

Unsurprisingly, England are ranked second on the list with a hand batting average of 39.06 per wicket. It's not that they have scored any less than first ranked India, but seem to go pretty hard and loose wickets in the process.
No wonder their highest score was a jaw dropping 481 with both Bairstow and Hales getting massive knocks in the process. It is no surprise that burger stall vendors were 'on alert' for white missiles.
This approach is certainly risk-filled, but considering the quality of this English side, you'd expect them to carry on in the same fashion and cross the hurdle of the group stage games. But the problem comes in the big eliminators and semis, where you only have one chance. And if a batting collapse tragically occurs at the wrong moment, then you can't cry over your approach.
