NEW DELHI: Opener Jason Roy, the hero of England’s semifinal win against New Zealand, says the team is improving with every game and they are excited to play the ICC World T20 final at the iconic Eden Gardens on Sunday.
Roy fired England to a seven-wicket win over New Zealand with a whirlwind 78 off 44 balls here last night, his maiden fifty in the format.
He said it is great to be in the final, especially after the loss to the West Indies in the first game.
“It sounds pretty cool (being finalists). After the first game it seemed pretty far away. After that, the amount of effort we put in has paid off,” said Roy.
Asked to rate his match-winning effort, Roy said: “Yeah, that’s right up there. It is pretty special for me. To get this group to the final, obviously the bowlers played their part as well. Their skill set was amazing in the death overs.
“Today was good as it gets in a T20 game. There are obviously few things we need to work on but credit to the boys for dragging it back. The momentum we carried from the end of their innings to our innings was outstanding,” said the attacking batsman.(Agencies)
