We don’t always get a chance to win a game against such a big team – Harmeet Singh
After the match, Harmeet was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo, you don’t always get a chance to win the game every day against such a big team. The way the boys are training, it is an individual effort from everyone. It means a lot for us to perform well against Bangladesh.
He said, we are not going to give any walkover. I believe that we have immense potential. We have many match-winning players in our team. This gives us an edge. Now we also bat well (like anyone else).
Harmeet further said, we were confident that Fitz would bowl against the wind, but when I saw him bowling from the other end, in the direction of the wind, I felt that we had a chance to bowl 20 runs from the other side. I think either they took us for granted, or I don’t know. They did not have bowlers to bowl from the other side.
He finally said, I told the boys before the match that on paper Bangladesh is a good team, but if we lose without fighting, it will not send a good message. We know the wicket because it is our home condition. We know everything about this ground. This is a T20 format. After a few blows we can corner them and end the match.
