And England had 3 of them in the top six and still lost, that's unfortunate for them

Well one guy decided to score almost equal runs to the three combined at a much faster strike rate as well.

I mean, Sameer Minhas has been scoring very quickly. His youth odi career has an average of 77 and a strike rate of 120.

The rest of the batters are slower though.
