Strengths
England have a very strong batting lineup with good depth. They have picked up a very strong squad and if they qualify for the Super 8, they will be playing all their matches in Sri Lanka. Their batting unit is their strength.
Weaknesses
England bowling unit, especially the pacers might struggle in these conditions and they are playing a lot of all-rounders who can bowl rather than specialist pacers. So, they might struggle to bowl out teams or contain them regularly.
