T20 WC: Not a six-hitting contest, says WI coach Reifer ahead of SA clash

West Indies batting coach Floyd Reifer on Wednesday brushed aside suggestions of a looming six-hitting shootout against South Africa, asserting that his side's focus remains on maximising scoring opportunities rather than merely clearing the ropes in their crucial T20 World Cup clash here. With both unbeaten teams packed with some tremendous power-hitters, there is an expectation of a high-scoring contest but Reifer said the Caribbean side's approach goes beyond boundary-hitting. "Both teams have the ability to hit sixes and once the wicket is good, you expect good batting performances from both sides. For us, it's about scoring off as many deliveries as possible. Yes, we hit sixes and fours, but the main thing is to score as many balls as possible," Reifer said during the pre-match press conference. The former West Indies captain made it clear that his team does not feel the need to prove a point despite entering the tournament amid modest expectations. "There's no point to prove

T20 WC: Wicket spun more than expected, says Santner after Sri Lanka game

New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner said that a total in excess of 160 was "enough" on a surface that offered more turn than expected as his side defeated Sri Lanka by 61 runs to move to the brink of T20 World Cup semifinals here on Wednesday. New Zealand had slumped to 84/6 in 12.1 overs after losing four wickets in a dramatic middle-order collapse, but Santner (47 off 26) and Cole McConchie (31 not out off 23) turned the game around with a counter-attacking stand. The duo plundered 70 runs in the last four overs to lift New Zealand to 168/7. New Zealand then restricted Sri Lanka to 107 for 8 to knock the islanders out of the tournament. "It was obviously a nice score there with the amount of spin with the ball. They squeezed us a lot," Santner said at the post-match presentation. "Of course, the batsmen will need to take a little responsibility at the top and you know we can't rely on one or two batsmen in a game, so all the batters need to take the positive option. "I think we

Sri Lanka captain Shanaka calls for govt support amid player criticism

Fitness and form were not the only areas in which Sri Lanka failed, said captain Dasun Shanaka as he also blamed the "negative environment created outside" for his team's ouster from the T20 World Cup and oddly urged the government to protect the players from criticism. Shanaka apologised to his country for the disappointing ouster from the Super Eight stage after a 61-run loss to New Zealand following a 51-run defeat at the hands of England. However, he was not too happy with the criticism that his players were facing due to underwhelming performances. "As players, it's very hard for us to control the outside noise. So, most of the time, we mainly hear negative stuff, so no matter how positive we are as players, there is a negative environment created from the outside," he said after the loss to New Zealand here on Wednesday. "So that's a disadvantage for cricket in Sri Lanka, we only have this game and I don't think this could be saved. So, why the negativity is being spread like
