Predictions and Expectations
Now as the Super 8s roll out predictions and expectations are extremely high.

Group 2 England: we believe that we only learn when facing the West Indies and then overcoming South Africa, however to the USA will leave you providing their ability to score an acrobatically even lead up a spot in the final four.
