Skipper Rashid Khan’s statement after the game with South Africa

Our online cricket betting tips would be incomplete if IPLCricBet doesn’t mention the player statements of the game. Here is what skipper Rashid Khan said in his own words after the game took place.

“It was tough, tough for us as a team. We might have done better but the conditions didn’t allow us to do what we wanted. That’s how T20 cricket is, you need to be ready for all conditions. I think they bowled really well.  And I think we got good success in this tournament because the seamers bowled really well, you need good starts.

I think we were unlucky with Mujeeb’s injury, but our seamers and even Nabi bowled brilliantly with the new ball. That made our job easier as spinners. We have enjoyed this tournament. We will accept playing a semi-final and losing to a top side like Africa.

It is just the beginning for us, we have the confidence and belief to beat any side. We just need to keep our processes. This has been a great learning experience for us. What we take from the competition is the belief.

We know we have the skills, it is just about managing tough situations, pressure situations. Some work to be done, specially in the middle order to take the innings deep. As I said, it is always learning for our team and we have achieved good results so far but we will come back doing more hard work, specially in the batting department.”

Marco Jansen’s statement after the game with Afghanistan

Here is what Marco Jansen said in his own words after the game took place.

“Awesome feeling. The guys played really well, we executed perfectly. We just wanted to stick to our plan, bowl good lengths and see how the wicket reacts.

The wicket was getting a bit open, and it was about keeping it simple. (On Markram) He is awesome to have as a captain. We’ll enjoy tonight and be on our way again.”
