England's T20 World Cup campaign continues despite another unconvincing performance, with Will Jacks insisting the team's confidence remains unshaken. The defending champions scraped past Italy on Monday, needing to defend 30 runs in the final two overs after Ben Menenti's 60 off 25 balls threatened an upset.

Harry Brook's side has now won two of three group matches, though both victories came against lower-ranked opponents in tense finishes. Jacks' unbeaten 53 was crucial in posting 202-7, but England's batting lineup has yet to fire consistently. Jofra Archer's early breakthroughs helped, but Grant Stewart's late assault exposed vulnerabilities in England's bowling attack.

With nerves evident throughout the group stage, England advance to the Super 8s where they'll play all matches in Sri Lanka. The team recently won a 3-0 T20 series there, providing some comfort. Jacks emphasized that despite the hard route, reaching the Super 8s was the primary objective. England now faces tougher opposition including likely matches against Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and New Zealand, with only the top two progressing to the semi-finals.
