England so far have won only 1 game so far and have registered some of the most embarrassing defeats in their ODI cricketing history
While SA handed them 229-run loss - ENG's worst defeat in ODI history; AFG coming off 14 straight World Cup defeats beat them by 69 runs
England have only played 42 ODIs since their 2019 World Cup triumph and in 2023, apart from the World Cup games they played just 12 games
Excessive reliance on stats is becoming ENG's nemesis. In SA game, Mott claimed, 'numbers around chasing were quite strong'
ENG's top-wkt taker, Reece Topley is out of WC 2023 with broken finger. He was the only English bowler in Top 20 wicket-takers in 12th spot in list
Jason Roy who had most ODI caps since 2019 WC was dropped for the in-form Harry Brook from the World Cup squad
Dawid Malan, their highest run-scorer in 2023, is 14th in terms of most runs this WC - the only English batter in Top 20 run-getters of 2023 WC
If they keep on faltering, ENG will become 1st holders to be eliminated from group stage of World Cup since Australia achieved unwanted feat in 1992
