T20 World Cup: Daryl Mitchell’s character stood out in the semifinal against England, says Kane Williamson | Cricket News – Times of India

“Most players have played together in various tournaments, knew it was going to be a great game of cricket. Thought they had a pretty competitive total. But just by staying in there, building the partnerships and cashing in on some moments, some matchups (we managed to win),” said Williamson at the post-match presentation.
“Definitely, Mitchell’s character is something that stood out today. He has batted beautifully in a high-pressure situation…A fantastic knock from Daryl. (He) Hit the big shots when it counted.
“T20 cricket – it’s a game of small margins…. surface, the short side – these things can be match-defining. Neesham came out and hit the ball hard, that’s what he does. (He) Changed the momentum really,” he added.

Earlier, Moeen Ali and Dawid Malan played knocks of 51 and 42 respectively as England scored 166/4.
