He called for clearness on the decision from the International Cricket Council (ICC).
“I think you should have an umpire in here for some clarity, to be honest,” he said.
“There are some questions that need to be asked.”
New Zealand were chasing a 173-run target set by England in a Group One Super-10 stage match in Chittagong on Saturday.
The Kiwis benefited from the decision of on-field umpires Aleem Dar and Paul Rieffel. At 52 for one after 5.2 overs – nine runs ahead of what they needed under the Duckworth-Lewis method, a formula used to calculate the winner in rained-off matches, they were declared the winners.
Broad felt aggrieved because had play been stopped before the completion of the fifth over, it would not have counted as a complete match.
Meanwhile, the ICC announced a 15% fine of his match fees in view of the comments he made.
