4 England players who should stand tall to register a win in the 2nd T20I.

England had a bitter start to their high core series against the in-form India. Team India registered a comprehensive win against the English men. Kuldeep Yadav and KL Rahul made the win comfortable. Jos Buttler, the lone warrior, scored a well composed 69 at Manchester. He lacked support from the other end, helping England set a target of 160. The English men outperformed Australia in June but failed to make an impact in their 1st T20i against India.

Eoin Morgan needs to sit down along with his men and draw some strategies to tackle the spin duos. There are some batting order debacles in the playing 11. The likes of Jonny Bairstow and Alex Hales, who had a fair amount of success opening the innings, are now playing in the middle. Joe Root, the experienced campaigner, has a pale T20 record and the team needs to look beyond him in the shorter format.

Here is the list of players who need to step in.

#4 Alex Hales.

Alex Hales.

The dashing England batsman who plays for Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League made his T20i debut way back in 2011 against India. He then went on to cement his spot in the national squad in the limited overs format.

Hales is an integral part of the national squad. He now plays at No.3 spot in ODI 's and T20i's giving away his opening spot to Jonny Bairstow and Jos Buttler respectively. He came into the limelight when he scored 94 against Australia in T20.

Hales was ranked No.1 in T20i for a long while. Alex made his IPL debut this year against Rajasthan Royals at Jaipur. IPL franchises are harsh towards Hales as he went unsold every time he was up for grabs. This year he was draft as a replacement for David Warner and got just a handful of games. Playing at No.3 Hales needs to step in for the team's cause. Alex Hales overall performance:

ODI's: Matches- 65, Runs- 2302.

T20i's: Matches- 54, Runs- 1513.

#3 Moeen Ali:

Moeen Ali.

The English all-rounder who plays for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League is a mainstay in the English side. Moeen made his T20i debut in 2014 against West Indies. He also made his ODI and Test debut in the same year.

His IPL debut season was a wonderful one, scoring a magnificent half-century against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Ali is also known for his off-spin, scalping 133 wickets from his 50 test outings. Moeen Ali didn't reach to the expectations in the first T20. Ali failed to make an impact both with the bat and ball. He has to stand tall to ensure England win the second T20 at Cardiff.

Moeen Ali's overall performance:

Test: Matches- 50, Runs- 2495, Wickets- 133.

T20i: Matches- 24, Runs- 208, Wickets- 15.

#2 Jonny Bairstow:

Jonny Bairstow.

The English keeper batsman, who was in great form ahead of the series against India, failed to score a single run in the first T20. His change in batting position made his strike rate go up. Labeled as a test player, he proved his critics wrong with his recent performances.

Bairstow now has become an integral part of the England squad. Jonny is expected to make his IPL debut in the next season. He made his mark when he scored a century against South-Africa. Jonny needs to step up in the second T20 to help England register a win at Cardiff.

Jonny Bairstow's Overall performance:

ODI; Matches-48, Runs: 1,856.

Test: Matches-54, Runs: 3,341.

T20I: Matches-24, Runs- 343.

#1 Eoin Morgan

Eoin Morgan.

The English skipper, who leads his team from the front, failed to make an impact in the first T20 held at Manchester. He became a victim of the spin duos and will be itching to go after them in the second T20 at Cardiff.

The Ireland batsman is a mainstay in England set up in the limited overs. He made his T20 debut against the Netherlands in 2009. Morgan made his IPL debut against Kolkata Knight Riders in 2010. He was part of Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Punjab franchises.

Eoin is the only player to be dismissed at 99 on his debut. He came into the limelight in 2009, scoring back to back 60's in the 2009 Champions trophy. He would be aiming to score high to help his team avoid an early series loss at Cardiff.

Eoin Morgan's overall performance:

T20's: Matches- 74, Runs- 1700.

ODI's: Matches- 205, Runs- 6202.
