Good points raised but NZ played like the weakest team of the tournament in their last 3 matches and still advanced. They're extremely lucky to have run out of runway to fall one more spot. Also until the very last match we thought we were better than not just SL but Pak also. We started well, had bad luck in the middle, and couldn't muster the fighting spirit of 2015 despite superhuman effort from Shakib. That's why it was a failed campaign.
