Adil Rashid has mentioned that England is not considering the Super 8s of the T20 World Cup 2024, instead they will be concentrating on one game at a time. On Friday, the Oman team was defeated by England through eight wickets at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua.
However, it’s not up to them if they advance past this stage because Australia must defeat Scotland for England to move into any further stage.
The Three Lions, in the meantime, got their net run rate up to +3.081 from being a disastrous -1.800 following their matches against Scotland and Australia. Against Oman, Jos Buttler and Co. showed intent and chased down a target of 48 with 16.5 overs to spare. Despite the huge win, Rashid refuses to look too ahead.
“I think that’s just the team for today. We never look far ahead. We can’t look at Super 8s or whatever it is down the line. We try to look at what our next game is. And then obviously the captain and coaches get together and they pick the team. So, it’s for the day. And for the next game it will be so on and whatever it is, so on,” Rashid said in the post-match press conference
“We never look too far ahead of this is the right bowling line up for the super 8’s or whatever. That’s down the line. We concentrate. Game at a time, step at a time and make sure we put our performances in,” Rashid added.
Adil Rashid won the player of the match award after his impressive performance against Oman as the leg spinner finished with exceptional figures of 4-0-11-4.
