Eoin Morgan predicts the winner of the upcoming T20 World Cup England captain Eoin Morgan said that the upcoming edition of the T20 World Cup will be very competitive where England has been added along with West Indies, Australia and South Africa to the group. Two more teams will also be joined following the qualification round as well. However, the runners-up from the last edition will begin their campaign against defending champions West Indies. Meanwhile, England had a forgettable defeat to West Indies in the final of the 2016 T20 World Cup as well. Eoin Morgan, said in an International Cricket Council statement: “The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is going to be brilliant. The standard of T20 cricket around the world is improving exponentially and every nation has a chance of becoming World champions. It should be one of the closest and most competitive world tournaments to date and we can’t wait to get started.” However, England will come in the tournament as one of the favorites and are ranked number one in the format as well. The team enjoyed back-to-back series wins over Sri Lanka and Pakistan at home and then faced a narrow 3-2 series defeat to India earlier this year in the T20 format.
Meanwhile, the upcoming Indian Premier League campaign and a two-match T20I series in Pakistan will be a great platform for practice as well. Morgan, however, feels that every team in the tournament has a match-winner and believes that England have the ability to win as well. "I think in T20 Cricket, because the game can change quite quickly, there's a huge pool of talented teams within our group, like every game is important to us. All of the teams have match-winners. I think our biggest strength is the consistency with which we have performed, probably over the last two years. It has taken us number 2 in the world. I think we have that momentum going nicely for us," Morgan added.
