T20 WC: ‘Knew We Have To Bowl Well And Work Hard,’ Says Jacks After Match-winning 3-22 Vs SL
Pallekele International Cricket Stadium: Will Jacks reflected on a clinical all-round performance after guiding England to a commanding 51-run win over Sri Lanka at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium on Sunday. Jacks picked up three crucial wickets as a comprehensive effort by the bowlers saw England defending a modest total of 146.
“We're buzzing with that. At the halfway stage, we were pleased to get up to 145, but obviously, we knew we were going to have to bowl well and work hard. And we had such a brilliant start in the powerplay, Jof got us off to a good start. And then we managed to continue taking wickets all the way throughout,” Jacks said during the post-match presentation after receiving the Player of the Match award.
England’s bowlers delivered exactly what was required, dismantling Sri Lanka for just 95 in a relentless display built on early breakthroughs and sustained pressure. Jacks credited familiarity with conditions and England’s spin strength as key factors behind their control.
