Winning against India will boost confidence: Morgan
Perth: New England One-Day International (ODI) skipper Eoin Morgan today stated that it would be a great boost for the England team if they win their match tomorrow against the Indian team.
India will take on England in the last group match of the tri-series here Friday. The match will serve as a virtual semi-final as the winner will face hosts Australia in the summit clash Sunday.
“So as momentum and confidence goes, it’s quite a big game. (Plus) the opportunity to play in a final — given we’ve got to get past India and produce some high-class cricket to get past India. The opportunity to play Australia on Sunday is huge,” Morgan was quoted as saying by The Sydney Morning Herald.
The 28-year-old added that their prime focus will be to make it to the final Sunday given their string of poor performances before the tri-series.
“It is important (making it to the finals) given the lack of success we’ve had before this tour. We’ve built a lot of confidence in our preparation in the game in Brisbane and in the performances leading into the start of this series.”
Morgan took over the reigns from Alastair Cook shortly after the tour of Sri Lanka where England lost the ODI series 2-5.

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.
