Eoin Morgan believes that England will still win the 2023 World Cup despite their opening day mauling at the hands of New Zealand at Ahmedabad.
Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway both stepped up significantly on their World Cup debuts as New Zealand cruised home to a nine-wicket win, chasing down England for a total of 282 with an impressive 13.4 overs remaining.
Morgan, who captained England to victory in the 2019 World Cup, said yesterday that England needed to “push harder” after a subpar result and had not given “enough shots” with the bat. He claimed not to have done so. easily. The reigning champions were without Ben Stokes, who missed the game with a hip injury.
“I told England in advance to win this tournament and I still have absolute confidence,” Morgan told the ICC. “There’s nothing that worries me about today’s performance in terms of believing they can win the cup. “The advantage of this format is that previously you could have one bad day and go home within a week. It’s about not letting one bad day ruin the tournament. I still believe they can win this World Cup.”
The former England captain also reiterated his message that England are not sticking hard enough to the attacking approach that has brought them so much success in recent years. He said: “From an England perspective, we have certain expectations of Jos Buttler’s team to have an attacking approach regardless of the surface.

“We didn’t understand it clearly enough, and this loss dramatically highlights the way we played in this World Cup.” Their biggest point going forward is to improve their attacking I think that’s what it will become. The message from Joss is as follows. “We have to be tougher”
