Big win for England over the world champions in the first super eight match of ICC world cup twenty20. Till now what ever match England has played they have shown they are the clear title favourites. England have beaten 2 big teams one while chasing another while defending and both wins are convincing.

Good bowling display by England by taking wickets at regular interval and doesn't allow any of the partnership going for Pakistan. All the bowlers chipped in with wickets and fielding was also high class. Pakistan bating was below par, for the second match in a row.Again the same 2 batsman scored Salman Butt and Umer Akmal for pakistan.

Batting of England is the strong point, as the openers are doing really good job and the No-3 Pietersen is carrying in form  from the IPL. Pietersen is striking the ball really well. And in the middle order Morgan and Luke Write have already shown their form in previous matches. So England have nothing to worry. Pakistan's bowling was not up to the mark. Mohd Asif was looking out of colour and fielding was also ordinary. England has got to a flayer thanks to the 3 dropped catches by Pakistan in the first 6 overs, after that coming back was really difficult considering the low score they have set as target.

England now is looking really strong contender for the trophy. Though their lower middle order needs a test and also they have to find out the alternate 5th bowler. So watch out for the England matches.
