Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India] : After the Netherlands’ 160-run defeat against India in the world cup match at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday, the Dutch skipper Scott Edwards said that they knew it was going to be a tough tournament.
Speaking at the post-match presentation, Edwards said that they played two good games of cricket at the extravagant tournament.
He added that they have got a lot to learn at ODI World Cup 2023, and a lot to get better before the T20 tournament next year.
Talking about the Dutch side, Edwards said that they are a very young side with a lot of young guys in the set-up. He added that they are still not sure about their upcoming fixtures.
“We played two good games of cricket and gave ourselves opportunities in other games which we’d have liked to win. A little bit tricky to say where we were compared to where we wanted to be. We were pretty confident with the style we played. We knew it was going to be a tough tournament. We’ve got a lot to learn, and a lot to get better before the T20 tournament next year. They showed pure class with the bat. There were periods where we bowled well, they just soaked up the pressure. They are going to be an extremely hard side to beat in this World Cup. We are a very young side, with a lot of young guys in the set-up, it is about growth for us. In terms of fixtures, not sure,” Edwards said.
