In a post-match discussion, England's captain Jos Buttler highlighted the necessity for his bowlers to reduce boundary leaks following their defeat to Australia in the Champions Trophy. Despite a commanding target of 351-8, England suffered a five-wicket loss, hindered by an Australian chase led by Josh Inglis's unbeaten century.

Bowlers Mark Wood, Jofra Archer, and Brydon Carse were noted for leaking runs, whereas Adil Rashid maintained an economical stint against powerful Australian hitters. Buttler praised the efforts of Joe Root and Liam Livingstone for keeping their over rates under control, conceding runs below Australia's required rate.

Buttler acknowledged the game-changing partnership of Josh Inglis and Alex Carey, who forged a crucial 146-run stand after England's positive start with early wickets. Ahead of their next match against Afghanistan, Buttler reiterated the team's focus on maintaining scoreboard pressure by restricting boundaries.
