U-19 World Cup: Bangladesh-West Indies to face off at Semi-Final
“They (Bangladesh U-19) had great strides forward in the last couple of weeks. That’s due to the real success of the national team,” said Stuart Law, the team’s technical consultant.
“The young Tigers want to emulate what their heroes are doing. We have been conscious that we want to make steady improvements each day and the boys are working hard to that. I am extremely proud of the boys.”
West Indies U-19 Coach Graeme West hopes that his team can make use of the strengths of their opposition by playing three warm-up matches against and losing them.
“We are very lucky we played them three times so we know their side, we know their strength. Their top six are all very well organised and their spin attack is very good and very skilful in the conditions here in Bangladesh,” said West.
“They also have two good seam bowlers but they are not a non-quantity to us. We are very familiar with them. We know what to look out for.”
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
