Dubai: New Zealand Spearhead Trent Boult hopes his team can cause “big annoyance” against a balanced Britain in the first semifinals of the T20 World Cup here on Wednesday.
The UK has become a sensational form in the ongoing tournament, registering a dominant victory at the Super 12 stage before losing to South Africa in their last match.
On the other hand, the New Zealand campaign began with losing five nuts to Pakistan before they get momentum.
Black caps are likely to be considered underdogs for the semifinals towards a strong English side.
“(English) is full of match winners.
They are very balanced teams and playing are some good white ball crickets at this time,” said the boent in the video posted by new Zealand crickets.
“So let’s hope we can make upset.
A good history between the two sides in the white ball cricket.
So I’m sure there are many people at home to watch this with interest, “he added.
After the defeat of Pakistan, a black hat has shown a performance that consistently defeated India, Afghanistan, Scotland, and Namibia to book a place in the last four.
Talking about bringing momentum or starting again at the knockout stage, Boult said, “For me, it starts again.
We oppose some classy opposition who comes to the end of the tournament business.” Pacer left arm feels black hat has done it well to read and adapt to The goal quickly.
“And what has worked with us today is people working together, try as accurately as possible and they try to read the goal as soon as possible.
Push forward which will be some of the right things to check us.” Talking about bowling at T20 Cricket, Bult said clarity is very important.
Boult also praised Adam Milne, who was recruited into the squad after Lockie Ferguson was ruled out from the exhibition because of calf tears.
“Disappointed to lose Lockie so early in the tournament but Adam fits smoothly and is able to apply the pressure and adapt to the same role.”
