Nottingham: England captain Eoin Morgan said the team’s fielding let them down in their ICC World Cup 2019 clash against Pakistan, which they lost by 14 runs in a high-scoring game at Trent Bridge on Monday (June 4). Pakistan posted 348/8 in 50 overs and England, despite centuries from Joe Root and Jos Buttler, fell short, ending up with 334/9. Morgan said the bad fielding cost their 15 to 20 runs.

Nottingham: All-rounder Mohammad Hafeez, who struck a fine half century in Pakistan’s 14-run victory over England in the ICC World Cup 2019 on Monday (June 3), said the team’s bowlers were always confident of defending 348. Hafeez said the team had gained confidence after beating the tournament favourites. Pakistan posted 348/8 in 50 overs and England, despite centuries from Joe Root and Jos Buttler, fell short, ending up with 334/9. Earlier, Pakistan were defeated by West Indies after being bowled out for just 105 in their opening game.

Pakistan took ruthless advantage as ICC World Cup 2019 favourites England suffered an off-day in the field, piling up 348/8 after being put in to bat. Eoin Morgan’s men dropped the simplest of catches in the outfield, produced a string of fumbles, conceded unnecessary overthrows and generally looked out of sorts
