T20 World Cup 2022
England all-rounder Ben Stokes has admitted that they will be up against a very strong opposition in India during the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2022.
The Men in Blue topped Group 2 with eight points, winning four of their five Super 12 matches. On the other hand, England finished second in Group 1, registering victories over Afghanistan, New Zealand and Sri Lanka.
“We know we need to get this game done on Thursday against a very strong Indian team, which obviously no one will ever take lightly because of ...
...the players that they have in their squad. But we are a team that likes to focus more on ourselves than try and think about the opposition.”
Both India and England have won the T20 World Cup once each.
“I hope so” – Ben Stokes on whether he still has some magic left in him
However, the 31-year-old has not had a great time in the tournament either with the bat or ball.
“I hope so, because we’ve got two more games now to hopefully be a part of and hopefully lift the trophy at the end.”
“Just chilled. Knew what I had to do. I assessed pretty early that I was going to try my hardest to be there at the end. The situation itself wasn’t ...
...too much of an ask. It was basically just a run-a-ball, but the wicket was slowing up. So I assessed and decided that I’ll be there till the end.”
