England captain Jos Buttler said he was very disappointed by his team’s failure to chase a modest target of 230 runs and said the batting unit let them down in the 100-run defeat to India in the ICC ODI World Cup here on Sunday.

Chasing 230, England fancied their chances and Jonny Bairstow and Dawid Malan gave them a good start by raising 30 runs for the first wicket. Things went south for India after that their batting capitulated and they were bundled out for 129 with Mohd Shami claiming 4-22 and Jasprit Bumrah bagging 3-32.


“Very disappointed. At the halfway stage, chasing 230, we would have fancied ourselves. Same old story. Very disappointed,” said Buttler during the post-match presentation on Sunday. Asked whether it made sense to absorb pressure after losing early wickets, Buttler said what matters more is how one executes the plans. 

“I think whichever way you want to go, you have to be committed. It’s all about execution. It is. The answer is on a postcard, I think. It was a great start in the Powerplay by the bowlers, the guys found some movement. The ground fielding was good. But the way we batted, we didn’t back that up,” said the England captain.
