T20 World Cup: England Have To Adapt To Playing On Slower Pitches, Says Nasser Hussain
Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium: Former captain Nasser Hussain believes defending champions England need to address issues in adapting to playing on slower pitches after losing to South Africa by seven runs in their second Super Eight stage game of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.
At the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium on Friday, England did well in restricting South Africa to 163/6. But in their chase, England struggled to get going against South Africa’s slower balls and were reduced to 61/4.
Harry Brook played a calculated 53 and shared a sensational 78-run partnership off 42 balls for the fifth wicket with Liam Livingstone, who smashed a 17-ball 33, as the duo capitalised on South Africa’s bowlers' bowling pace-on deliveries.
