But they’ll need to strike a balance in Australian conditions, where it’s not always about going gung-ho with the bat. You’ve got to be smart, you’ve got to be patient, and you’ve got to adjust to different conditions.
But with the likes of Heather Knight, Nat Sciver, and Sophie Ecclestone in their ranks, England have got match-winners in their squad. And they’ve also got a lot of depth – Kate Cross is an example of someone who may not always play, but when she does, she’s a real handful for opposition batters.
So England will be confident heading into the tournament, but they’ll know they’ll have to be at their best to challenge the likes of Australia, who are always strong in ICC events.
It sets the tone for the team and gives everyone confidence. So, I think they’ve got a really good mix of youth and experience, and they’ve got all bases covered.
They’ve got a really good chance, but as we saw in the men’s T20 World Cup, anything can happen in T20 cricket, so they’ll have to be on their game and take it one game at a time.
But I think they’ve got a really good chance of going all the way and winning the tournament.
