Friday's comprehensive seven-wicket defeat to Australia with 31 balls remaining has shaken the belief in England's preferred top order for the ICC World Twenty20.

Collingwood, though, remains confident in his side's abilities, stressing: "It's only two games so far in this tournament. It's early doors so I'm not going to start panicking now and I still believe in those guys at the top of the order."

England believed the pairing of Darren Maddy and Matt Prior as openers followed by the explosive strokeplay of Luke Wright would be the ideal combination to exploit the first six overs of fielding restrictions.

But in six innings in the tournament between them they have only scored 74 runs and registered a top score of 20 - struggles which undermined England whole innings as they slumped to their lowest Twenty20 total of 135.

Collingwood added: "They have shown they have the ability and have proved domestically in England they can go out there and smash the ball around.

"We're going to have to have a chat and look at the areas where we can improve, but when you back players to go out there and perform sometimes they get strength from that - they haven't come off in the first couple of games, but they have the ability."
