No favourites in T20 World Cup: Stuart Law claims after USA’s series win against Bangladesh

“We were in a privileged position today with the series in our hands. It was nice to give opportunities to other players. We wanted to make sure everyone had a game before they go into the World Cup, which will be cut-throat. Every game will be like a final. We have had two very good performances in the two wins here,” added Law.

The stand-in skipper Aaron Jones furthered Law’s point of no favourites as he asserted that USA beating Pakistan or India wouldn’t be termed an ‘upset’.

“We are a very good team. Obviously we showed that against Bangladesh, one of the best teams in the world. I wouldn’t call it an upset if we beat Pakistan or India. I will just say that we played better cricket on the day. It is a game of cricket. The bigger teams can lose as well,” said Jones.

The co-hosts of the tournament are placed in Group A with India, Pakistan, Ireland and Canada with their first match scheduled on 1 June against Canada in Dallas to inaugurate the T20 World Cup.
