2019 World Cup: England not panicking after Australia loss, says Eoin Morgan

England came to play this World Cup with the favourites tag but defeat against Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Australia put them in serious trouble.

London: England suffered a heartbreaking 64 runs defeat to Australia in a crucial tie at the Lord's on Tuesday. This defeat left England needing to win at least one, maybe both, of their final two games against India and New Zealand if they have to cruise to the semi-finals.

Unfazed by the defeat England skipper Morgan said, "We are in charge of how we go from here on in."

"We win two games, we definitely go through," Morgan said.

He further said, "It's a matter of producing a performance in one, if not both, of the next two games."

England came to play this World Cup with the favourites tag but defeat against Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Australia put them in serious trouble.

England's defeat against Sri Lanka while chasing 233 runs target exposed their weakness, then they suffered 64 runs defeat to Australia.

Now, they will face tournament's two best sides India and New Zealand which make things tough for England. "Confidence is not where it was at the start of the tournament," Morgan admitted."I think it's a matter of rebuilding it. India is going to be a tough challenge on Sunday, as is New Zealand. It's a matter of going back to our strengths."Normally when we lose games of cricket, we go back to what we do well. We'll still strive to do that for Sunday's game."After winning the toss England's decision to field first didn't go well with them. Their bowlers bowled too short. Finch slammed his second ton of the World Cup that helped Australia to score 285 for 7. In response to it, England were reduced to 53 for 4. Ben Stokes scored 89 but they were bowled out for 221.

Morgan, however, said the defeat was not "hugely disappointing".

"Our fate is in our own hands in the next two games we play," said the Dublin-born batsman.

"Everything we need to turn around is quite simple. The basics of the game let us down in the last couple of games. Hopefully, we will improve on them moving forward."
