(Reuters) - Bangladesh paid the price for a below-par batting performance and made errors in the field at key moments during their two-wicket defeat by New Zealand at the World Cup on Wednesday, their captain Mashrafe Mortaza has said. "We were very close, a few runs short but very close." Mashrafe refused to criticise Mushfiqur for his mistake but was left ruing the missed opportunity. The result leaves Bangladesh sixth in the standings ahead of their next match against England in Cardiff on Saturday. England have more pressure... and we've beaten them in our last two World Cup matches."
