T20 World Cup: England's Decision To Bowl Will Jacks In Power-play Backfired, Says Nasser Hussain
T20 World Cup: With England’s hopes of reaching Super Eight stage of the T20 World Cup in jeopardy following their 36-run defeat to Australia in their Group B match at the Kensington Oval, former captain Nasser Hussain thinks the defending champions’ decision to bowl Will Jacks in power-play backfired massively in their deflating loss.
Following a three-run opening over from Moeen Ali, Jacks was carted for 22 runs by Australian openers, David Warner and Travis Head, who targeted the shorter boundary consistently.
After fast-bowler Mark Wood was hammered for 22 runs as well, Jacks wasn’t given another over to bowl in the rest of the match as Australia made 201/7 and England in reply, could manage to make 165/6.
