If I had bowled first, I would have played spinner until the 20th over: Sandeep Lamichhane

Nov 24, Kathmandu - Biratnagar Kings captain Sandeep Lamichhane has said that his team could have used spinners for 20 overs if they had bowled first.

After winning the match against defending champion Janakpur Bolts on Monday, Sandeep said that the pitch was conducive to spinners and if they had bowled first, they could have used spinners until the 20th over.

Janakpur, who bowled first, used spinners until the 16th over. During that time, Janakpur also bowled economically. In response, Biratnagar also used spinners a lot.

Sandeep mentioned that although the fast bowlers did well in today's match, it was a 'spinner favorite pitch'. He said that spinners Surya Tamang and Naren Bhatt also bowled excellently and the overall bowling unit was good, they were able to save the target.

He says that the batters played well even on a difficult pitch to bat on. Sandeep says that the team is clear about where to use Faf du Plessis when this team is doing well.
