With an aggressive brand of cricket, they looked poised to reach the final until a five-wicket loss to New Zealand in the last four stage stopped their progress.

Fast bowler Chris Jordan was the most expensive for England as he conceded 31 runs in three overs. Following that match, Jordan said he was at the receiving end racist abuse.
