England captain Harry Brook on Saturday admitted underestimating some teams in their group and promised to dish out stronger performances in the Super 8 stage in the T20 World Cup.
England, the two-time champions, have been far from convincing thus far with three nervy victories against associate nations and a loss at the hands of former champs West Indies.
They nearly lost to lowly Nepal before scraping to a four-run win, suffered a comprehensive 30-run defeat to former champions WI, before beating Scotland and Italy to reach the Super 8s. They face Sri Lanka in their first Super 8s match here on Sunday.
“It was obviously a niggly start to the competition. We probably underestimated a few of the sides and they put up a really good fight and yeah, look, we came here to get through that stage and thankfully we have, so we’re here in the Super 8s and that’s our main focus now,” Brook said during the pre-match press conference.
