Sharjah Warriorz’s eye on ILT20 Season 3 trophy
Sharjah,
Winning crucial moments and maximising the powerplay – these are a couple of aspects that the Sharjah Warriorz have their eyes on as they prepare for an entertaining Season 3 of the DP World ILT20. The Sharjah Warriorz, who will be captained by Tim Southee and has JP Duminy as the head coach, will commence their campaign at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium against the Gulf Giants on 12 January.
Former South African cricketer JP Duminy wants his side to keep things relatively simple and take it one game at a time. He said, “It is crucial to keep things simple during the game. From a tactical point of view, understanding the different phases in the game is important and it is also crucial to be able to win them, so you give yourself the best chance.”
“Everyone wants to win the DP World ILT20, but the critical piece will always be the how and that’s something that we’re going to discuss and understand as we progress in the tournament. It will depend on the conditions are we facing and that’ll be an evolving conversation,” the South African explained.
Leg-spinner Adil Rashid added, “The Sharjah Warriorz are not going to look too far ahead, and it’s about playing the game that’s in front of you, and executing the plans to perfection. It’s a game of cricket and there are ups and downs, so we want to keep things really simple. Whatever challenges lie ahead of us we want to win that battle first and then move onto the next.”
