here's what player of the match, ADIL Rashid, said during the post-match presentation
"All the bowlers bowled extremely well and to restrict them to 115 was very pleasing. Always nice to keep it tight and get an early wicket which brings the new batter in. With the wind, you have to assess which end you're going to bowl. The googly's been coming out nicely too."
Here's what Jos buttler said DURING THE POST-MATCH PRESENTATION
"I thought if we could bring our intensity, we'd be too good. We've got great options. We wanted to bring Chris Jordan back, adds a bit of depth with his batting capabilities as well. A World Cup hat-trick is a great effort."
Here's what Aaron Jones said during the post-match presentation
"I guess you could say [we've run out of steam]. We've not had a good last two games. Something to look forward to for sure when we get back. But, we've really enjoyed this tournament. I think our shot selection wasn't the best. We knew he was the danger man but we still gave him some wickets."

Clinical all-round performance from England, USA gets knocked out
An out-and-out performance from England from all departments saw the Jos Buttler-led side romp a 10-wicket victory against the USA. Let's take a moment to appreciate the sheer spirit of the USA though. They can be mighty proud of their effort all-throughout, and have all the right to pack their bags with their heads held high.
Belligerent Buttler devours hapless USA
Buttler ends up with 83* (38). Six fours and seven sixes to his name. Totally ruthless from Jos the Boss.
1, 6, 6, 6, 6, WD 6 - Butler goes berzerk
Buttler rips apart Harmeet. Smashes five towering sixes off Harmeet in a 32-run over which brings ever so close to attaining a rapid-fire victory.
Buttler brings up his 24th T20I half-century in grand style
Buttler comes down the track and piles one over long-off to get to his half-century in 32 deliveries.
Shadley van Schalkwyk into the attack, can he provide a breakthrough for his side?
With the USA getting battered left, right & centre, Jones introduces van Schalkwyk in a bid to ignite some spark of hope in a match which is seeming already well past their reach.
60/0 after 6, England in a rush to get things done with
A 12-run over from Kenjige propels England to 60 with all their wickets intact. Buttler six shy from his 24th T20I half-century.
England well-placed at 48/0 with one powerplay over to go. Can they make the most of it?
Ali Khan's first over got England a third of their total score after five. Kenjige to bowl the sixth. Some serious fireworks expected from the English openers.
Horror start for Ali Khan!!!
Shocking start from the right-arm quick. Sprays the ball miles down the on-side. Gous has no chance as the ball races off to the fence.
One-man show at the moment, England 32/0 after 4.
Buttler seems to be on another level altogether. Having faced three times more deliveries faced by Salt, he's already scored 28 out of the team's 32 runs.
Buttler tears into Netravalkar
Pace on or off, Buttler seems the least concerned as he smacks Netravalkar for two colossal maximums, including a 104 m monster, which ends up impairing one of the solar panels placed on the roof of the venue.

The game is a do-or-die affair for both teams as England will look to keep their hopes alive and USA will aim to give themselves a minor chance with a win. USA have lost two out of as many games in the Super 8, whereas England have managed a sole victory in two games.
England will need to win the game with a substantial margin as they lack the required NRR compared to their closest Group 2 rivals, West Indies. The fact that England has conceded 90 runs against Scotland in the group stages without picking any wicket will haunt them before undermining USA. On the other hand, USA will garner some motivation with their historic win against Pakistan and would love to repeat the same against another champion team.
Kensington Oval has been a bit unlucky for both teams as they lost their previous games here by a hefty margin. But, the surface is a batter’s paradise and the blade wielders can aim for a big score after seeing through the early swing from the pacers. The spinners have very little to offer but can leverage on the bigger side of the boundary and shots that travel against the wind. There is ample cloud cover and chances of rain. Expect delays during the game.
