00:00 Two years ago in Australia, England won their second T20 World Cup, defeating Pakistan by
00:07 five wickets in the final in Melbourne.
00:11 This year they are back to defend their title in the West Indies and the United States of
00:14 America, although all of England's group games take place in the former.
00:20 In Group B, England first face Scotland in a battle of the United Kingdom.
00:25 Whilst the Three Lions will be big favourites, the pressure will be on to prevent any potential
00:29 slip-ups.
00:30 Next up is a match against old rivals Australia.
00:33 The Oddies failed to progress from the group stages two years ago and will want to avoid
00:37 that this year.
00:39 Once those two games are navigated, England face Man and Namibia in two games where they
00:44 are again expected to win, but as with Scotland, they are potential banana skins and Josh Butler's
00:50 side must be at their best to win them and build momentum for the rest of the tournament.
