Who said what at the Cricket World Cup yesterday, the sixth day of the 2023 tournament:
“Sometimes cramps, sometimes acting!”
– Pakistan’s Mohamed Rizwan after cramping late in his undefeated innings of 131 in the record-setting win over Sri Lanka.
“I thought it was a fantastic score on that pitch, it got harder towards the end but we could’ve got more at the back end.”
– England skipper Jos Buttler after his team made 364-9 to defeat Bangladesh.“Just hungry, hungry to play and to do well, hungry to score runs and win games of cricket. I’ve wanted to be part of this team for so long.”
– England’s Dawid Malan after hitting 140 in his team’s 137-run win.“It was colder weather than the last game, you could even see the snow.”
– Bangaldesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan on the changing conditions up in the Himalayan venue of Dharamsala.“He has the quality and whenever it’s his day, he can do anything against the opposition, so we are expecting and we are hopeful that he delivers in tomorrow’s game.”
– Afghanistan captain Hashmatullah Shahidi backs leg-spin wizard Rashid Khan to recover from his wicketless start to the World Cup when he faces India today in New Delhi.“We still have the belief and our statement is the same. We are here to make this World Cup historic for our country and to show to the world.”
– Shahidi on his goals for the World Cup.
