"We made it easy for India in the end. We will have to learn from our mistakes and there were some pretty clear ones in the batting line-up. Young guys seem to learn pretty quickly," Broad told reporters after England were outplayed by 90 runs last night.

England were dismissed for 80 in 14.4 overs, making it their lowest total in Twenty20 internationals. Broad said the enormity of loss doesn't matter to him much as it has no bearing on England's overall fortunes in the tournament.

"It doesn't change our destiny a huge amount - we still hop on a bus to Kandy in the morning. It is not like tomorrow is going to be a different day. It is not as if we have to go home or anything," Broad said.

Reflecting on the team's performance, Broad said, "Our error today is we lost early wickets."

"Spinners always enjoy bowling to new batsmen. We talked the other day about how we need to hit straight and hard and today to lose the first couple of wickets across the line was a bit disappointing. Hitting straight was a much better option than going across the ball." MORE
