Despite not being at their most dominant throughout the tournament and having some holes in their side, such as a misfiring top-order of Phil Salt and Jos Buttler, England have managed to secure some wins to remember throughout their campaign so far.
Will Jacks is having a dream campaign in the ongoing World Cup, having won four Player of the Match awards for his side. He has equalled the former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson's record for most POTM awards in a single edition (four in the 2012 edition).

The 35-year-old Buttler has played 153 T20Is for England, hitting 4012 runs at an average of 34 and a strike rate of 147. Recently, he became the most capped England player in international cricket.
"It's Baz (McCullum). Baz is the mastermind there. He had a discussion with me this morning about going up the order and trying to maximise the power play, and thankfully it paid off," said Brook, as quoted by the ICC.
The 25-year-old seamer had shaken hands with Brook after taking his wicket during the match. Reacting to that gesture, Afridi said, "He deserved it because he had a world-class innings in his life. I think that was the best innings. Harry and I had a very good friendship as well. We have pla
