T20 WC: ‘Plan Was To Stay Patient And Back My Strengths,’ Says Harmeet On Match-winning 4-21 Against The Netherlands
T20 World Cup: USA’s spin-bowling all-rounder Harmeet Singh credited patience and sticking to his strengths after producing the best bowling figures for the team in a T20 World Cup match to set up a 93-run win over the Netherlands in a Group A clash of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
Harmeet was named Player of the Match for his decisive spell of 4/21, which broke the backbone of the Dutch chase as they were bowled out for 103 in pursuit of 197. His strikes in the middle overs ensured there was no way back for the Netherlands after the USA had posted 196/6.
Reflecting on the conditions and his approach, Harmeet, after receiving the award, said, “When I first saw the wicket in the first innings, the ball was holding a bit - even when I went in to bat. So the plan was to really spin the ball. During the Powerplay, when I bowled, it gripped a couple of times straight away, so I decided to trust that and not change too much. It was almost like a one-day plan - staying patient and backing my strengths.”
