T20 World Cup 2024 Match 28: Oman vs England| Captains’ Corner

“Nothing much to say, it was a big collapse. It was big exposure, but still there are positives. With associate teams, we don’t get to play bowlers who bowl at 140kph [often]. At the back of the mind, expecting a lot of pace, it is difficult. Some areas, the ball was there to hit, but they had fielders up in the ring. Batters didn’t look uncomfortable but bad shot selection [cost us]. Hats off to them for putting pressure on the bowlers. They had to go for run rate. We have learned a lot, how we can get better. We competed in some areas. You learn where you stand, but we have to work hard.”

Aqib Ilyas(Oman Captain) said post-match

Thought the tone was set by the bowlers, take early wicket and restrict them. Job done today, another game in two days’ time. Bowled brilliantly, there was extra bounce. Topley with his height… I thought they bowled a good line and length. [Spin] Don’t think anyone expected the wicket to play like it did, looked a really good surface. [Batting] Just looked to be positive, try to take advantage of the NRR. [Criticism] Been around long enough to know that people make comments. We know what’s going on in the dressing room. We have another huge match to come. We can only control what we do, all focus is on that.”
