England all-rounder Liam Dawson on Monday said the team is "in a very good place" despite a mixed group-stage campaign in the T20 World Cup and expressed his delight at having a potent spin attack at their disposal. England made the Super 8s after a tense couple of weeks that saw a 30-run loss to the West Indies and narrow wins over Nepal and Scotland.
