    What's the story

    England are up against Sri Lanka in their last Super 12 game in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022.

    The contest is a virtual qualifier for the Brits as a victory would see them qualify for the semi-finals.

    England would be happy at the halfway mark, having restricted SL to 141/8.

    England have now taken most death-over wickets (21) in the Super 12 stage.

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    While batting is seen as England's primary strength in T20Is, their bowlers have been excellent in the ongoing competition.

    They have particularly done well in the death overs, where batters look to accumulate maximum runs.

    Notably, the ongoing competition has seen many teams score big towards the end overs.

    However, none of the sides have succeeded to do the same against Jos Buttler's men.
