Speaking after the match, English white-ball skipper Jos Buttler said: "Disappointment, we are having the same chat after the match. Improvements today, more with the bat, but we were still well short, no complaints if you lose by 30 runs."
"Certainly low point, definitely as a captain to be stood in this position, had high hopes but incredibly disappointing, hurts a lot. We certainly haven't done ourselves enough justice, coming into the tournament, we fancied ourselves to do well to go all the way, there's so much hard work but we let ourselves down and people back home," he added.
England have two more games to go in the ODI World Cup 2023, against Netherlands and Pakistan, as they aim to enter top eightfor ICC Champions Trophy qualification.
