After winning the series, England have jumped over Australia to claim the 1st spot in ICC T20I rankings. Ben Stokes is excited about what this England team could go on to achieve in world cricket if they keep playing to their potential.

Stokes is of the opinion that if England plays to their strengths, they are capable of beating most teams in the world on any given day. He is a fan of the attacking brand of cricket that England are currently playing and feels that it is the right way to play.

The contribution of Dawid Malan has been phenomenal: Ben Stokes

Dawid Malan was the star of the three-match T20I series between England and South Africa and retained his No.1 ranking in T20Is. He scored 173 runs in the three games, which included a match-winning 55 in the second T20I and a brilliant unbeaten knock of 99 runs in the final T20I of the series.

Ben Stokes was extremely impressed with the way the No.1 ranked T20I batsman played, especially considering that he has had a limited number of opportunities to play T20 cricket for England since his debut back in 2016. He believes such consistent performances will keep the England team in good stead ahead of the all-important T20 World Cup next year.

With an emphatic series win over South Africa, England have proved that they are one of the main contenders for winning the 2021 T20 World Cup.
