The English player Joe Root helped his team to reach 309-6 in Wellington, but their competitors won by 9 wickets, only because of unbeaten hundreds from Lahiru Thirimanne and Kumar Sangakkara.

Morgan's team have been beaten by all three teams they have faced in Pool A, and now their hopes to reach quarter final is now on the remaining games against Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

The English Cricket Captain have taken the same four seam bowlers in all the game so far, and in the consequences of another defeat the captain was asked whether his team attack had become too predictable.

He told that "Here I think we bowled a bad ball every one, one and a half overs, which, at this level you get punished for, and we were punished today by a very experienced side. We've got variations in two tall bowlers who get bounce when they bowl well, and two swing bowlers when they bowl well but today we were way off the mark. When we're bowling well it's a good attack but you can pick it apart when it's not bowling well, and today we didn't bowl well. We bowled a lot of bad balls. Over the next couple of days we'll get the HawkEye stuff back and the proof will be in that. My feeling is we bowled a lot of bad balls." said to the skysports.

Morgan said that the results was "harder to take" by getting badly defeated by Australia and New Zealand, insisted their team was "positives" in his side's batting performance. And the captain would not give up by an early exit, saying: 

"It's not even a thought at the moment Two games to win to get us into a quarter-final. It's not a big deal getting those guys up. It's a World Cup - everybody is like a kid at Christmas. They want to play and they want to win. That part of it is easy. It's simple things moving forward. I keep banging on about them because we haven't done them so far this World Cup. The simpler we keep it moving forward, the more obvious what we do or have to do over the next 10 days. That will be the message from me to the players."
