After a heartbreaking loss against India in the 29th match of the ICC Cricket ODI World Cup 2023, the English skipper Jos Buttler said that he was very disappointed after the loss. Men in Blue handed 100 runs defeat to England on Sunday. Speaking at the post-match presentation, Jos Buttler said, Very disappointed. At the halfway stage, chasing 230 and seeing how wet it got, we fancied ourselves, same old story. I wasnt sure if Dew would come or not. Just the gut feeling said that we wanted to chase. Thats as good as weve been with the ball throughout the tournament. We created good pressure, we bowled well, took wickets.WIN by 💯 runs in Lucknow ✅🔝 of the table with 6⃣ wins in a row!#TeamIndia 🇮🇳#CWC23 | #MenInBlue | #INDvENG pic.twitter.com/oKmCLpCzUt— BCCI (@BCCI) October 29, 2023The English slipper accepted that their best batters had failed to perform with the bat as they faced a difficult situation in the first powerplay. If you said we are chasing 230, we would have been happy with that. Personally, I wanted to try and soak some pressure up, come through that phase, and then build a partnership and sort of kill the momentum that India had. Its about committing and executing your skills.Furthermore, he said, Chasing 230, there wasnt scoreboard pressure. Its about trying to come through that phase. We are just falling short whichever way we are doing it at the minute. Our answers on a postcard, I think. Some top players and we are a long way short of our best. Excellent start in the powerplay, the guys found some movement, there was a bit of indifferent bounce as well, and the ground fielding was good. It felt like today was the day where it was all turning around, but the way we batted, didnt back that up. (On Champions Trophy 2025 qualification) We are aware of that, weve still got lots to play for. 100-run victoryIndia has eliminated the mere chances of England to qualify into the semis of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on Sunday.
