Their 33-run defeat at the hands of Australia, their sixth in seven games, finally ended England’s title defence with two matches left to play.
Their fifth straight win took the Aussies a step closer to the semifinals. Though their spot isn’t confirmed yet, with matches against Afghanan and Bangladesh to come, they are well placed.
