Defending champions England suffered a chastening nine-wicket loss against New Zealand, a team they had defeated to lift the title four years ago, in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 opener in Ahmedabad on October 5. In the post-match interview, England captain Jos Buttler said "It's certainly a tough loss to take" but promised to bounce back. (Video: ICC)

00:00 Yeah, disappointed.
00:06 Completely outplayed.
00:08 But the first thing that springs to mind is
00:12 whether you do lose by a run or a defeat like that,
00:15 it is one loss at the start of a very long tournament.
00:19 So I think that's what we'll be encouraging everyone to remember.
00:24 It's certainly a tough loss to take.
00:26 We were outplayed, but we've got a lot of experience
00:29 in the room, guys who've been through lots of things
00:32 and faced defeats like that before.
00:35 So just as we had won the game, we don't get too high
00:39 and we don't get too low when we lose as well.
