T-20 World Cup: Group A Looks Like The Tougher Group To Me, Says Preston Mommsen

Former Scotland skipper Preston Mommsen feels Group A in Round 1 of the ICC T20 World Cup is a tougher group than Group B. He also said that he expects Sri Lanka and Bangladesh to go through to Super

The 34-year-old, who is on the commentary team for the mega event, believes that Namibia, who will be playing their maiden men's T20 World Cup, have an ability which will come out at the appropriate time. "I actually think that Namibia might have something up their sleeve and make it through with Sri Lanka. Over the last 24 months they have been sensational. They have won 17 of 21 T20Is and that 80 percent win-rate is phenomenal. David Wiese is a great addition to associate cricket and we know how destructive he can be with bat and ball."

Mommsen signed off by saying one can't take results for granted in a must-win environment like the men's T20 World Cup, especially when associate nations are playing.

"The key I think is that in associate cricket, we know that anyone can beat anyone else on their day so you can't take any result for granted. Scotland actually have a hundred per cent record against all their opponents in T20Is, but it's very different going into the must-win environment of a World Cup. That will be a big test for them and all the associate teams in Oman and the UAE."
