England lucky to reach World Twenty20 Super Eight?

Question

Are England lucky to reach the Super-Eight stage of the World Twenty20?

Answer 1

Yes and no. England posted a total of 191 in their first match against the West Indies, but the Duckworth/Lewis system reduced it to a 60-run target, and England lost a match they probably deserved to win. The element of luck came into play when their next match, against Ireland, was washed out, and England progressed courtesy of their net run-rate.
