Danny Morrison made a big statement
Former New Zealand cricketer-turned-commentator Danny Morrison has praised captain Kane Williamson, saying that there is no doubt that right-handed batsmen always play better at number three. Williamson looked to return to his form in the Group 1 Super 12 match against Ireland in the T20 World Cup at the Adelaide Oval on Friday as he smashed a swashbuckling 35-ball 61.
Team reached the semi-finals
Williamson hit the ball well, hitting five fours and three sixes at a strike-rate of 174.29, laying the groundwork for New Zealand’s 35-run victory and helping New Zealand reach the semi-finals. “I think Kane Williamson has calmed down. He was batting well. When you have a captain like that, half the work is automatically done for you in Australian conditions,” he said.
bowlers also did wonders
Senior pacer Tim Southee, who picked up a two-wicket haul against Ireland to continue his stellar run in the tournament, emphasized how New Zealand get variety in their bowling line-up through paceman Lockie Ferguson. Ferguson took three wickets for 22 runs in his four overs and dashed any hopes of Ireland.
