India outplayed us: England captain Jos Buttler

And asked to reflect on his side’s tournament as a whole, with defeats to Australia, South Africa and now India, he said: “Really proud of everyone’s efforts to be here. You can only play who’s put in front of you.

“We’ve had lots of adversity throughout the competition, we’ve stuck together well as a group, played some really good cricket in patches, but come up short when we needed it most.”

Later, in the post-match press conference, he went on to say: “Whatever team [we picked], whatever happened at the toss, they were going to be a tough team to beat, and we had to be at our best if we were going to win the game and we were short of our best today.”
