5 Reasons why England will win the World Cup in 2019

#5 The powerplay overs

English Top Order can blow away opposition during the first few overs

England has evolved into a hard-hitting batting machine over the last couple of years which can result in matches being decided during the batting powerplay itself. The likes of Jonny Bairstow, Alex Hales, and Jason Roy can easily bat at a run rate of more than 10 during the field restrictions and take the game away from the opposition straightaway.

The batting firepower can also sap the morale of the opposition bowlers who may find it difficult to bounce back in the game once their rhythm is disrupted so early.

The English batters can easily race to around 80-100 runs in the first 10 overs to make a path towards a total of 320-330 quite navigable which will not be easy to chase in English conditions for most batting line-ups.
