England's bowling is a weakness, otherwise they are the best. Their bowling led to their defeat against Scotland.
Ironically India was also on the verge of losing to Hong Kong before they choked .

I don’t think England’s bowling is a weakness tbh, all teams can have an off day and in limited Overs cricket means you can lose

Anyway hopefully @MattW will post remaining results soon :)
