Despite the courageous display with the ball, England could not prevent New Zealand from qualifying for the finals, which will be held on Wednesday at Eden Park in Auckland.
The first of its kind T20I tri-series, which was held in two countries – the first three games were held in Australia, before the matches shifted to New Zealand – ended with Australia going unbeaten and the two other teams ending with 2 wins each, with the Black Caps qualifying due to a superior net run-rate.
