Men’s ODI WC: Defeat To Australia Showed The Lack Of Confidence In England, Admits Moeen Ali

Cricket World Cup: After England officially crashed out of the 2023 Men’s Cricket World Cup with a 33-run defeat to Australia, off-spin all-rounder Moeen Ali pointed towards a lack of confidence within the team which has led to them being at the bottom of the points table.

"I'm disappointed as a player and we just haven't been good enough in this tournament from the start really. This match showed the lack of confidence in the side. I thought we were a little bit better tonight and we had the best of conditions and we know we should have won this game, but these things do happen in cricket."

"I think we've just probably tried to do too much and, as players in particular, we try to be really aggressive and then we try to soak up a bit of pressure, but we just couldn't do it. Even tonight, every time we tried, we were in a position where we were, 'okay, we're doing all right here', we just lost two wickets quickly and then we have to try and rebuild again and then lost two wickets again."
