Alzarri Joseph won the Man of the match award for his excellent spell against Zimbabwe. Joseph was delighted about the win, but he was adamant about beating Ireland to reach the Super-12 stage of the tournament. If West Indies can win their next match, they will definitely qualify for the Super-12 stage. He said that they know that the job is not done.
“It’s very encouraging, but we all know the job is not done. We still have one more game to play. We need to get that win to get to the next round,” Alzarri Joseph said after winning the Man of the Match trophy.
Joseph said that his aim is to get early wickets for the team and wants to pull his team back into the match. He said that his strategies depend upon the batter he is bowling to and he keeps an close eye on the crease. Joseph also called the Hobart wicket good for cricket.
“For me, it’s all about pulling it back for the team. Try to get an early wicket. If not, just keep it tight. It all depends on the batter and keeping a close eye on them at the crease,” Joseph added.
