West Indies batsman Brandon King insists he is simply looking to cash in on his recent purple patch after scoring another half-century against New Zealand on Thursday.
After entering the batting line-up at six, with the team struggling at 4 for 60, King made a valuable 91 not out to guide the Windies to a 5 wicket win at Amstelveen.
The half-century was King’s second of the series, having scored 58 in the first match. Overall, in the last nine matches, King has averaged 41.57 and hopes to keep accumulating high scores.
“As cricketers when times are good you have to try and cash in and score as many runs as possible,” King said following the match.
“I feel good out there so I’m trying to capitalize on that good form,” he added.
Over the past several series, King has shifted places in the team’s batting line-up, batting at 5 against The Neverlands, 2 in the previous series against India, and 4 against Ireland. Despite having success down the order in the ongoing series, King believes that versatility is one of his strengths.”
“A part of my strength is adapting and doing what is needed for the team. I can bat anywhere in the top 6. This was a new role given to me but it’s not unfamiliar I am a middle-order batsman first and foremost.”
