England: Pool stage
How England performed
Pool-stage elimination followed in Sri Lanka in 2002, two years after England's quarter-final exit. Nasser Hussain led the side, with Duncan Fletcher as head coach.
Both Pool 2 matches were played at the R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. England opened with a 108-run win over Zimbabwe, making 298/8 and holding them to 190/9 in 48 overs. Against India they posted 269/7, but India reached 271/2 in 39.3 overs to win by eight wickets, and England went no further.
