- ‘We fought unbelievably well,’ says England captain
- Morgan refuses to blame lost toss or injuries
Eoin Morgan said his England side were devastated after losing a thrilling and desperately close T20 World Cup semi-final to a New Zealand side turbo-boosted to glory by an innings of swashbuckling brilliance by Jimmy Neesham.
The two sides have played each other often over recent years – with England memorably edging out New Zealand in 2019 to win the 50-over World Cup – and become familiar with their strengths. But Neesham’s hitting skills at No 6 – he struck three sixes on his way to 27 runs off 11 balls – still caught England unawares.
