Namibian Coach Pierre de Bruyn Says T20 World Cup Has Been An 'Emotional Roller Coaster'
Namibia head coach Pierre de Bruyn has described his team's journey in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup as an 'emotional roller coaster'. He added that the team came into the tournament with expectations and exceeded all of them. Namibia, in their first appearance in the Men's T20 World Cup, shocked Ireland in their last Round 1 match to progress to Super 12. They went on to record their first Super 12 win against Scotland. The side will look to sign off on a high against India in an inconsequential Group 2 match in Dubai on Monday.
"If I can summarise it very quickly, it's been an amazing journey. It's been an emotional roller coaster for all of us. We came here with the expectations, but I think we exceeded that. And with that, the pressure mounted, and these players have really announced themselves. The Super 12 for us, honestly, it's been an amazing experience. It's never nice to lose. We don't take the field knowing that we are going to be blown over by another team," said de Bruyn while replying to a question from IANS in the pre-match press conference on Sunday.
