Reacting to his team's historic win over the Netherlands, England captain Eoin Morgan said at the post-match presentation:
"Dawid Malan, Phil Salt and then Jos Buttler played on his own zone today, probably the best white-ball cricketer at the moment. It's great to see the hunger within the squad, the proudest thing for us nobody takes it granted when they play for the country."
