England captain Eoin Morgan would have loved to win against New Zealand. Like 2019 or maybe 2016 where they beat their new arch rivals in the semi-finals of ICC t20 world cup, Well, Morgan and his boys tried their best in Abu Dhabi, but it’s not 2016 and as it turns out this Kiwi team was miles ahead of that 2016 Blackcap team. After the game, the captain revealed that he thought he was in the game.
“Thought we were right in the game till the 17th, 18th over. We had them exactly where we wanted them till then. It was (sluggish). We are a team hitting sixes but we struggled to hit sixes. But we hang in there and maybe post an even score. All the credit goes to him (Neesham) for coming out this way and hitting sixes off a ball. Absolutely love playing cricket at the moment. On and off the field (team) ) at the forefront of change.

Mitchell scored 72 runs in 47 balls while watching his team till the end. Morgan admitted he was outplayed. “Coming into the game we knew the two sides were close in skill. Full credit to Kane and his team. They beat us today. Represented really well in this tournament. Proud of the boys. They did everything in this tournament.” Have given.”
