Florida [US], Ahead of their last group stage encounter against India, Canadian wicketkeeper-batsman Shreyas Moova said the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup is a good opportunity for players to perform and make a name for themselves for their country.
Canada will take on the Men in Blue on Saturday at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida.
India have reached the Super Eights with three wins from three matches and a total of six points. Canada may now not qualify for the next stage but have performed well in their first T20 World Cup, finishing fourth with one win and two losses.
The 30-year-old claimed that had the team won against USA, they could have qualified for the Super 8s of the ongoing marquee event.“This World Cup is a great opportunity for us to perform and make a name for ourselves for the country and the players. It's a great opportunity for the Cricket Canada team and the way we prepared for the tournament shows that we How did the United States and Ireland play, OK? Ireland, we won the match, the United States was a close match, we were in the game till the 28th over, so, the preparation was really tough for us and it depends on the result. If we had won against USA, we could have qualified for the Super 8s,” Movva said in the pre-match press conference.
The batsman further said that it would be better if the team focuses on cricket.
"If you look at our last year or one and a half year with coach Pugudu, wherever we went, we won tournaments, like in Dubai we won four out of four, won the ODI and if you look at Bermuda we lost the first game. We went and came back with five wins to qualify for the World Cup, it's just that the pressure of knowing that the Test playing country is opposite us sometimes gets to the mind, if you just look at cricket. If we concentrate, I think we will perform better," the wicketkeeper said.Squad:
