Having watched the innings closely at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, Croes admitted that Litton’s approach could serve as a guide for Dutch batters.
Speaking to the media, Croes said: “Watching Litton’s innings live was a great experience it was a high-quality knock. He played shots that were safe yet effective, and made batting look so easy because he stuck to low-risk options. He put pressure back on our bowlers, but did it with proper cricketing shots. That innings gave us a clear template of how to bat in these conditions. It was very impactful.”
