ICC World T20 2016: 5 things that no one saw coming

4.) England chasing down the target of 229

England are now a force to reckon with in Limited overs cricket

England have certainly turned a corner as far as their white ball cricket is concerned. England have always been associated with mundane tactics that are too stats-driven and are way behind what it should be. It was exposed during the 2015 Cricket World cup when their staid approach was the root cause of their ouster when they were beaten by Bangladesh.

Ever since that setback England have got their act together and under the leadership of Andrew Strauss (Director of Cricket) and Trevor Bayliss (Coach). They have brought in specialist players for this format and have given them freedom to express themselves. It was on display against South Africa when the new England smashed and plundered the Protea attack all over Wankhede and got to the improbable target of 230.

They came all but clinching the trophy, but then the giant Carlos Brathwaite thwarted them in the end.
