T20 World Cup: 'No Need Of 20 Sixes To Make A Game Entertaining', Believes SA's Pacer Nortje
Nassau County International Cricket Stadium: Anrich Nortje, who delivered his career-best T20I figures of 4 wickets for 7 runs in his four-over quota, believed that hitting 20 sixes doesn't make the match entertaining instead it's a strategy that goes into the game.
Nortje spearheaded South Africa to a tense victory over Sri Lanka, despite challenging pitch conditions. The low-scoring encounter, played at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, saw Sri Lanka dismissed for just 77 runs, with South Africa narrowly overcoming the target after a nervy chase.
"It doesn't always mean, correct me if I'm wrong, there needs to be 20 sixes in a game to make it entertaining. There's still a lot of strategy that goes into the game. There's a lot of skill that goes into the game, whether it's sixes or fast bowlers or spinners, however it might be. So, I thought the game was a brilliant game. It was still a close game at the end of the day, another wicket or two, and things might have been different. We might have been in a little bit more trouble," said Nortje post-match conference.
