Women’s World Cup: Plan Was To Keep Stumps In Play As Much As Possible, Says Alana King
Alana, who returned with astonishing figures of 1-20 in her 10 overs, with no boundaries conceded, was instrumental in applying the brakes on England’s scoring. She bowled 41 dot balls, some of which were unplayable, and played a huge part in keeping England’s scoring rate to 26/1 in overs 21-30.
Speaking to broadcasters in a mid-innings chat, Alana said the team had regrouped well following a loose start. "The plan was to bowl at the stumps and keep them in play as much as possible. I'm happy to play that role for the team. Really happy how it has been coming out in the last couple of games. We allowed them to get off to a flyer in the Power-play, and gave too much room to free their arms. In the middle-overs, we bowled well and that's what's great about this group," she said.
