England are close to being eliminated from the T20 World Cup after losing to Ireland and having their game against Australia rained off, but rather than being one defeat from departure Moeen Ali says the team are looking at things a little differently. “We’ve got to tell ourselves, four wins and we have got the World Cup,” he said.
With two more games in their Super 12 group against New Zealand in Brisbane on Tuesday and against Sri Lanka in Sydney on Saturday, England must win both if they are to reach the semi-finals. Even then, given the nature of the group, they may finish level with one or more other sides and need to better them on net run rate.
