Womens T20 WC: The Plan Was To Just Hit The Deck As Hard As I Can, Says Iris Zwilling

T20 World Cup: The Netherlands fast bowler Iris Zwilling expressed satisfaction with her bowling effort of 2-19 against Pakistan in the ongoing 2026 Womens T20 World Cup, saying shes glad that the plan of hitting the deck hard finally clicked at the County Ground in Bristol on Saturday. Iris spell of 2-19, based around bowling tight lines, was the standout bowling effort for the Netherlands in restricting Pakistan to 126/6. I think all tournament weve been kind of discussing to do the same thing, and its really just to hit the deck and hit the deck as hard as I can, really try not to float the ball up there. And I think today that finally clicked. So Im pretty happy with that, Zwilling said in a mid-innings chat with the broadcasters. She admitted the bowling unit had faced challenges on battingfriendly surfaces throughout the competition. Its an interesting one because obviously we play on really, really good batting pitches. And I think coming from where we come from, we dont always have that experience. So its something that we had to adjust to pretty quickly. And I think in parts weve really shown that we can bowl to good batters at good grounds on good wickets. And its nice to, you know, see that back in a total today with just a low total, said Iris.
