England (Source: AP Newsroom)
England won their last group stage match against Sri Lanka to book their spot in the semi-finals of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022. It has been a shaky journey for the team but what matters in the end is that they have made it through.
The Journey
England began their World Cup campaign with a win against Afghanistan. But in the very next encounter they faced a shock defeat against Ireland.
England's survival was at stake for the last two group matches, and they lifted themselves from that point. Although, the Australia match being abandoned by rain was a setback, but wins against New Zealand and Sri Lanka, along with a few other results going their way have seen the English team as the second team from Group 1 into the semi-finals.

We will take a look at how England have approached their batting in the Super 12 stage.
England's batting analysis in the Super 12 of T20 World Cup
Inference
The batting analysis gives us an idea about the rocky journey that the English team is having in this World Cup. The biggest weakness of the English batting has been the middle overs. They have been able to score only 19 runs per wicket, while the scoring rate has also not been impressive.
X-Factor
The biggest strength for England has been the solid starts that they have been getting. A near run rate of 8 runs per over while scoring 58 runs per wicket is really impressive.
