The 58-run loss to New Zealand in the opening encounter and a narrow loss to Australia on Sunday could not help them reach knockouts despite wins over Sri Lanka and arch-rivals Pakistan. From Group A, Australia (with four wins in four matches) and New Zealand (three wins and a loss), moved to semifinals.
