England then beat Bangladesh by 7 wickets under the DLS method, reaching 64/3 in 9.3 overs after Bangladesh had made 76/9, and dismissed South Africa for 85 on the way to another 7-wicket win. Hosts West Indies won the final group match by 4 wickets, overhauling England's 115/8 with three balls to spare.

In the semi-final in North Sound, India were bowled out for 112 and England reached their target in 17.1 overs to win by 8 wickets. The final against Australia at the same ground was one-sided: England were dismissed for 105 in 19.4 overs and Australia reached 106/2 in 15.1 overs to win by 8 wickets. England finished as runners-up with three wins, an abandoned match and two defeats.
