Before their upcoming match against the USA in the 2024 T20 World Cup in Florida, Irish bowler Mark Adair spoke highly of their opponents, noting that they possess a “well-rounded” team for the tournament.
Sitting at the bottom of the Group A points table without a single win so far in the tournament, Ireland enters this match following a disappointing 12-run defeat to Canada.
During the pre-match press conference, Adair noted that the USA possesses strong players on the bench. However, he expressed confidence in the Irish batting lineup, suggesting that it appears stronger on paper.
“They’re pretty well-balanced side and they’ve got good guys on the bench as well, which is always a sign of a good side. But yeah, I’d say if the two sort of- For me, it would be if our bowling line-up and their bowling line-up, it’s probably going to be who fires there. I would like to say our, our batters are probably the stronger on paper, but you know, those guys have come into form, really good time and yeah, they’ve have shown why they’re, why they’re doing so well,” Adair said.
Adair also reflected on their last match in the tournament, describing it as a “disappointing” encounter against Canada.
“We had a bit of a disappointing last game against Canada. Moved on from New York. I think there were two people happy to get out of New York. Mostly the batters. But yeah, look, it’s been a tough enough start for us. But yeah, looking forward to getting stuck in the Fort Lauderdale if the weather plays ball,” he added.
