Law also acknowledged that players should have responded to previous warnings sooner.
After restricting USA to 110/8, a nervous India chased down the target in 18.2 overs thanks to an unbeaten half-century from Suryakumar Yadav. But before the start of the 16th over, India needed 35 runs to win. With USA being penalized five runs under stop-clock rules, the equation was reduced to 30 runs required off 30 balls.
“Players know the rules, but it's something that if you haven't played with it for a long time, it's very difficult to get it in your head.So, the information we are getting from the umpires is that they were given two clear warnings, so it is up to the players to react, we did not react fast enough, we did not do it well enough, And that's something we can address."
"I don't think it was going to affect the outcome of the game. Five runs wasn't going to affect the outcome of the game, so I don't think it affected (the players). No, I thought we stuck to our guns. are." We fought hard, we fought till death.I thought we showed some great character against one of the best teams in the world," Law said in the post-match press conference.
He further said that it was not something that surprised the USA team. "We got a few warnings in earlier games, and it's something we talk about in terms of moving quickly between overs. It's just something we can improve on. I think We are just a new team.There's a lot to learn."
“There is not only the cricket aspect of the game of cricket, but there are other intricacies that need to be inculcated (among the players). This is a rule that has just come into effect. A lot of our players might not have heard of it before playing in the Bangladesh series or the Canada series earlier this year. So, look, this is something that we need to look at, we will sit and talk, but we can improve on it.,
When asked whether this was the ideal way to pace cricket games at the international level, Law commented, "I think there has to be pace of the game. I think if you are dragging the games out it has to be at a time and a half. Should last three hours." They're going for four and a half hours, that's a bit much. The ICC is there to establish rules and regulations. We as coaches and team are there to follow those rules and regulations.,
“If there are enough voices saying that it could harm the game, then I am sure the ICC will take action on it. I don't see it as a bad thing, I see it as a good thing. The game continues. When the momentum is on your side, you want to keep that momentum going and put the opponent under pressure.”
"So that's neither here nor there. It had no impact on the outcome of the game as many would suggest.But losing five runs was important at that time. But, again, it would have taken us to the 19th or 20th over rather than finishing it in the 18th.”
The USA now need a win or no result in their final Group A match against Ireland to qualify for the Super Eight stage. Left-arm fast bowler Saurabh Netrawalkar has once again come into the limelight for dismissing Indian openers Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in quick succession.
Law signed off praising his bowling ability so far in the T20 World Cup, although he admitted that more power-play scalps might have changed the outcome of the game."He was in high spirits. He was full of confidence even after the Super Over against Pakistan. He bowled brilliantly in that match too. Look, he did some amazing things with the ball."
“That ball which almost bowled Rishabh Pant, if that had happened there, we know we would be sitting here telling a different story.But look, that's a classy job. Now call him Iceman after that Super Over. Look, when he is running so fast, one more wicket could have made the difference. So, we needed to take wickets.”
“We basically had to bowl out India to win the game.We will never be able to control them with the power hitters they still have in the shed. Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel were yet to arrive. We had to get them out so taking wickets in front was important. We didn't do enough on that power play,” he concluded.
