England captain Morgan and the rest of the batsmen may not be in very good form, but their bowling is in very good form. Players like Tymal Mills to Jordan and Chris Woakes bowled very well against the West Indies. Also, the spin pair of Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid is also doing amazing. For this reason, in the first match, Morgans team dismissed the Caribbean players cheaply and their batsmen easily chased down the small target. England bowlers can do wonders in this match too.
