5 reasons why England might finally taste World Cup glory in 2019

#2 Stable middle-order

When you have openers such as Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow, half of your batting line up is already strengthened. In addition to the destructive openers, England is blessed with the most stable middle order you will ever see.

Joe Root, Eoin Morgan, Ben Stokes, and Jos Buttler contribute to the middle order of England. Joe Root is termed as one of the best ODI players of today whereas Eoin Morgan silently scores for his team without making the headlines. Ben Stokes can defend the ball when you ask him to, and he can clear the park with ease when the team needs quick runs. Joe Root has scored exactly 800 runs for England this year at an average of over 61, which shows how strong he is for his team and holds on to his wicket. Eoin Morgan, on the other hand, has had a decent outing this year, scoring 560 runs for his team at 33. Ben Stokes has been a part of only eight matches for England in 2018, but still, he showed how impressive he could be as he scored at an average of almost 40, which is magnificent for someone who bats at 5.
