"Difficult To Face 150 KPH Bowlers Once A Year": Oman Captain Aqib Ilyas After England Loss
Oman skipper Aqib Ilyas said that they failed to bat well against England at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. Oman conceded an eight-wicket defeat against England in the T20 World Cup 2024 match. Speaking after the match, Aqib said that the top order failed to score runs throughout the T20 World Cup 2024. He added that the batters faced difficulty while facing bowlers bowling at 150 . "We couldn't do well with the bat. Top order couldn't score runs throughout the tournament. It was good exposure but there wasn't much we could do. With no runs on the board, the bowlers didn't have a chance. We're used to playing bowlers that bowl in the 130-140kph range in associate cricket. So it's difficult when once in a year you play against bowlers bowling 150, there is something in your mind. It's a different thing when you're used to playing such bowlers," Aqib said.
