A 19-run defeat by the hosts, Sri Lanka, ensured that the defending champions will not progress from the Super 8s, as they miss out to the West Indies on net run rate.
Broad said: "We're really disappointed, but the guys have tried really hard in these few weeks here. We've learned a huge amount and, as long as we can take lots away from it, that's all we can ask. We need to keep wickets in hand at the top; today proved we've got good strikers at the end who can get us close."
