What did Rutherford say on the injury?
Sherfane Rutherford, who played a explosive inning of 76 unbeaten runs against England, got injured while fielding. On which he has given an update after the match. Rutherford said, ‘My finger is fine now, hopefully it will get better by the next match. I think one of the biggest challenges was Adil Rashid. In our meeting, we knew that he was going to be the toughest bowler for us. So what was important for me was to try to keep them out of the game, score runs, just keep rotating the strike and build a partnership. In the end, I had confidence in myself to handle the game.
