Sky Sports' Nasser Hussain believes England have what it takes to reach the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup.
In Super 8s, each team plays each other in the pool once, with the top two from each group advancing to the semifinals.
The winner of Group 1 will play the runner-up team from Group 2 in the semi-finals and vice versa.
It was predetermined which Super 8 group we would advance to, which helped with scheduling.
Pakistan, Sri Lanka and New Zealand were the three seeded teams that failed to qualify for the second round after losing to the United States, Bangladesh and Afghanistan respectively.
England still have a chance to successfully defend the T20 World Cup title they won in Australia in 2022.
