"The bowlers bowled exceptionally well"- England spinner Adil Rashid after a thumping win vs USA in 2024 T20 World Cup
English leg-spinner Adil Rashid received the Player of the Match award for his magnificent 2-wicket spell against the USA on Sunday. Reflecting on the win and his performance at the post-match presentation, he said (via ESPNCricinfo):
"I thought we played exceptionally well there, set the tone with the ball in the first innings. The bowlers bowled exceptionally well, to restrict them to 115 we were very pleased. Always nice to come here and bowl, always nice to come on, keep it tight and get a wicket and then a new batsman comes, sometimes it goes in your favour. Helps when bowlers from the other end keep it tight. With the wind, you got to assess which end you gonna bowl."
Rashid continued:
"With dew, it skids on a bit more, but on any given day or night, sometimes you don't feel good getting hit for fours and sixes. (On his googly) Yes it is coming out nicely, hopefully I can carry that on. He's (Buttler) a world class player, hopefully we can carry this on to the semi-finals."
South Africa will square off against the West Indies in the next match of the 2024 World Cup later today in Antigua.
