We look at the ground stats, it said it was a good chasing ground: Mott
Mott went on to discuss England’s performance versus South Africa in Mumbai. England allowed 399 runs in 22 overs after winning the toss and electing to bowl first.
“I can’t sugarcoat it; it was a difficult night for us. ” In this game, I believe we have very excellent intentions. It was an excellent cricket pitch. We look at the ground stats and discovered that its a decent chase ground. In retrospect. I believe the heat was more than we bargained for. “It definitely looked like a warzone there at times, especially after Topley went off,” Mott continued.
Heinrich Klaasen and Marco Jansen’s seventh-wicket stand was also lauded by the 50-year-old. He went on to say that England had five wickets in 40 overs and had considered reducing them to under 300 runs.
“Hindsight is wonderful. But we went out there in that powerplay to do a job, and we were well on our way to doing so until it all went wrong in the last 10 overs. At the end, with two set batters, that was class batting. We’d taken five wickets in the first 40 overs, and to be honest, we’d probably done the majority of the work. With a couple more wickets, we could have limited them to under 300, which I believe would have been sufficient in these conditions.
