Australia vs. Netherlands Women’s World Cup T20: Live Scores & Updates
14:52 IST:
Here to show something – That’s the aim of Dutch senior ROBINE RIJKE as she gives a candid interview to Australian legend Matthew Hayden. In his 100th WT20I, Rijke says it’s an incredible experience to play in Australia. He adds that you don’t get to do that every day, so it’s pretty exciting. He adds that 100 T20Is seems like a lot to me. It reminds us that Babette de Leede, their captain, is also playing her 100th WT20I, and also the fact that the two have been playing for a long time and haven’t missed a match in about 12 YEARS. Haydos brings her back to reality, informing her of the Netherlands’ position (indirectly saying it’s like a game they have to win) and politely asking her how they can improve. To this Robine responds saying that Australia are an amazing unit, teams with ability and consistency. He emphasizes that it is amazing for the Dutch to be at the World Cup and that was their biggest goal, but now they want to aim higher. RR states that they want to show the world that they can do well with multiple careers, that is being a professional and also playing cricket and also studying. They claim they are here to show something and not just be here. He hopes to get some wickets and runs and inspire some people in the Netherlands to take up cricket as a sport and profession.
