T20 cricket is a ‘cat and mouse game’… a strange statement by a frustrated captain

New Delhi. Kane Williamson’s bet of using fast bowlers early against the West Indies backfired for his/her team. The Kiwi captain termed modern T20 as a ‘cat and mouse game’. By the 18th over of the match, the overs of Trent Boult (three wickets for 16 runs in four overs) and Lockie Ferguson (two wickets for 27 runs in four overs) were over. After this, Williamson had to rely on medium pacer Daryl Mitchell and left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner for the last two overs.

West Indies batsman Sherfane Rutherford took advantage of this and scored an unbeaten 68 runs in 39 balls. During this, he/she scored 37 runs including four sixes in the last two overs. This also made a big difference in the result of the match, because West Indies scored 149 runs for nine wickets from 112 runs for nine wickets and then stopped the Kiwi team at 136 runs for nine wickets.

he/she is better than Siraj… Team India should field Arshdeep along with Pandya in Super 8, why did Kumble say so

“We’re always playing a game of cat and mouse”
Kane Williamson said after the match, ‘I think whatever over they (Mitchell and Santner) bowled, runs were going to be scored. You have to deal with such things. I think teams that are batting deep in T20 cricket these days… you are always trying to play a game of cat and mouse.’

This is the Super 8 equation for Kiwis
By defeating the Kiwi team, Windies entered the Super 8. New Zealand has to play against Uganda on June 14 and Papua New Guinea on June 17. Just by winning these two matches, the task of reaching the next round of the Kiwi team is not going to be easy. Because the host West Indies has reached the Super 8 with 6 points, while Afghanistan has four points. Afghanistan will reach the Super 8 by winning against Papua New Guinea. This match is to be played on June 14. The Afghan team will reach the Super 8 even if it wins this match or if this match is cancelled due to rain.
