T20 WC: Intent We Showed Was Excellent, Says USA Captain Monank After Win Over Netherlands
After the USA posted 196/6 and then bowled the Netherlands out for 103, Monank emphasised that clarity of approach made the difference.
“Firstly, really happy with the way we played today. Losing the toss and being asked to bat first wasn’t easy; the wicket was holding a bit. But I thought the intent we showed was excellent. That was something we were missing in the first two games, and as a batting group, we came back really strongly. The top four took responsibility, played with intent, and got us to a very good score. Initially, we wanted to assess the pitch and see how it was behaving. Once we got a feel for it and settled in, the plan was to make sure we punished the bad balls, show intent, and put the bowlers under pressure. That was very clear in our thinking,” he said during the post-match presentation.
