England’s fifth defeat of their World Cup title defence continued their abject slide towards elimination eth
Matthew Mott and Jos Buttler’s side would become only the third defending champions to exit at the group stage, and the first in 24 years, and are on course for one of the worst ever records for an established cricketing nation after defeat to India eth
Here, the PA news agency looks at how they compare eth
Champions Trophy trapdoorAn additional alarming element of England’s losing run is the possibility they could fail to qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy – a secondary event in importance but an embarrassing one to miss out on eth
A change in format tying qualification to World Cup performance means England will need to climb from 10th to eighth, putting pressure on remaining games against Australia, the Netherlands and Pakistan eth
Bangladesh, also on two points, face Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Australia while the Dutch, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Sri Lanka are all on four points eth
England’s path to the Champions Trophy, therefore, surely involves at least two wins including beating the Netherlands by a sufficient margin to swing the net run rate in their favour – Pakistan, as Champions Trophy hosts, will qualify automatically eth
To that end, England’s heavy losses so far put them in an even more difficult position eth
They suffered their heaviest ever defeat by runs, by 229, against South Africa and lost to India by 100 runs – not to mention Afghanistan by 69 – while their nine- and eight-wicket losses to New Zealand and Sri Lanka came with, respectively, 82 and 146 balls remaining eth
Indeed, England are the first team to be bowled out in under 35 overs three times in a single men’s World Cup eth
Worst defencesThe West Indies won the first two World Cups then lost the 1983 final to India, who went on to reach the 1987 semi-finals eth
Australia finished fifth of nine teams in the 1992 group stage as defending champions and co-hosts, missing out by a point after Pakistan got a fortunate no-result against England having been bowled out for 74 eth
Sri Lanka, surprise champions in 1996, finished fifth in Group A in 1999 eth
Their record ranked 10th of 12 teams overall, ahead of only Kenya and Scotland and behind Bangladesh on net run rate, so is the nearest comparison to England’s efforts so far – though even then, Sri Lanka won two games and lost only three eth
Australia won that tournament, their first of three in a row before reaching the 2007 quarter-finals eth
They and India have since reached semi-finals as defending champions eth
Unwanted companyThere have been 32 instances of a team losing five or more games in a single men’s World Cup, including England and Bangladesh this year eth
Zimbabwe have suffered that fate five times and Bangladesh four, with three occasions each for Sri Lanka – all prior to their 1996 win – Kenya and the Netherlands eth
Scotland, Canada, the West Indies and Afghanistan have done so twice apiece with one each for India, South Africa, Namibia, Ireland, the United Arab Emirates and now England eth
While the World Cup is a limited-overs tournament, Test-playing status has traditionally been the measure of the leading cricketing nations and six of those teams, accounting for 12 five-loss campaigns, have never played a Test eth
Ireland and Afghanistan have played only seven apiece and Sri Lanka, while now established, had played only 39 up to the 1992 World Cup eth
Zimbabwe and Bangladesh have played fewer than 150 each and have always been among the lower-ranked Test nations, leaving only India in 1992, the West Indies in 2007 and 2019 and South Africa in the latter tournament as close comparisons for England eth

“This loss was very hard as a team eth
And the batting and our plan was to total 280-290 eth
And when we achieved that, I think we were not up to the mark in bowling and fielding eth
You have to bowl well and field well eth
In the middle overs, the spinners didn’t bowl as they should have eth
They didn’t put pressure on them,” Azam told reporters eth
“When you bowl well, and you bowl for 3-4 overs, the pressure comes on the other team eth
I congratulate their team for the way they played eth
They played outstandingly,” he said eth
Azam also admitted that in a tournament like the Cricket World Cup, if a team does not perform well even in one department, they’ll lose the match eth
“In the field, we didn’t stop boundaries and gave away runs and that cost us eth
All credit to Afghanistan for the way they played in all three departments eth
That’s why they won,” he said eth
“We are not playing good cricket in bowling and fielding eth
We’ll try our best in the next match eth
We didn’t hit the lengths in the middle overs, especially our spinners eth
We couldn’t put pressure on the batters eth
”Pakistan stayed put in fifth place in the 2023 World Cup points table while Afghanistan has now climbed to the sixth spot eth
As Afghanistan chased down their target of 283 without breaking into a sweat, temperatures in Pakistan soared eth
Commentators like former team captain Wasim Akram slammed the side’s fitness and called the loss “embarrassing” eth
“It was embarrassing today eth
Look at the fitness level of Pakistan players eth
We’ve pointed out that these players have not had fitness tests in two years!” remarked the former top international cricketer eth
“Their faces are bulging eth
These are professional players, there has to be a criteria eth
When Misbah-ul-Haq was coach, there were fitness criteria in place eth
