UAE coach Robin Singh wants win over hurt SL

Despite making a gutsy fightback, UAE lost their first game to the Netherlands by three wickets at Kardina Park

UAE head coach Robin Singh said he is aware that his team need to play a “solid” game of cricket to beat Sri Lanka in Tuesday’s must-win Group A match in the first round of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup and be in the reckoning to qualify for the Super 12 stage of the tournament. 

Despite making a gutsy fightback, UAE lost their first game to the Netherlands by three wickets at Kardina Park. “Any opposition that we play, you will try to attack their weaknesses. At the end of the day, it’s not just about them losing the game. I think for us it’s about us going and playing a really good game of cricket. We have to play a solid game of cricket to beat Sri Lanka.

“They’re a top side who just won (the) Asia Cup. But saying that they’re in a situation where probably they’re expected to win, in our case we are expected to go out there and give them a fight, but for us it’s about winning as well,” said Singh in the pre-match press conference.
