United States’ captain Monank Patel is thrilled about the team’s recent T20 World Cup win against Pakistan and believes it will open up new opportunities for them. Despite this historic victory, Patel is keeping his emotions in check and is focusing on their next challenge against India. The co-hosts shocked former champions Pakistan with a Super Over win, but now face another tough opponent in India on June 12.
In a post-match press conference, Patel expressed his happiness about the win against Pakistan and emphasized the importance of staying level-headed for the upcoming matches. He believes that the victory over Pakistan will have a positive impact on cricket in the USA as a whole. Patel highlighted the significance of performing well in a major tournament like the World Cup and how it can help grow the sport in the country.
Despite leading Group A with wins over Canada and Pakistan, Patel and the team are not getting ahead of themselves. They are not concerned about any doubts surrounding their success and are solely focused on taking each game as it comes. The idea of progressing to the Super Eight stage is not a priority for them at the moment.
For now, Patel and his teammates are enjoying the moment and celebrating their unexpected victory. They are happy to share this memorable experience with their families, friends, and fellow cricket enthusiasts. The team’s focus remains on the present and they are determined to approach each game with the same level of determination and enthusiasm.
