Afghanistan’s head coach, Jonathan Trott, rejected the notion that their team has discovered the secret to winning while chasing a target in India.
They recently won their third consecutive game in the World Cup by restricting the Netherlands to 179 runs and successfully achieving the target in 31.3 overs with the loss of only three wickets.
This puts them in a strong position to secure one of the three spots for the semi-finals, following India’s qualification for the knockout stage.
When questioned about Afghanistan’s recent victories, Trott advised against saying they have completely perfected the game of cricket. He stressed the significance of self-assurance and making the most of chances.
“I’m very wary to say that you can crack anything with regards to the game of cricket. As soon as you think you’ve cracked this game, it cracks you back, trust me.”
”But I think we should be confident in everything we do, everything that we’ve done we should take with us, but also analyse the things and areas we need to work on.”
”So today I thought our fielding was good, we improved on that and we got some good run outs and we were presented with opportunities and we took them. And that’s all you can do when you’re fielding.”
“Still things, other little areas to work on maybe with the bowling and with the batting as well but, you know, can’t complain and I’m very, very proud of the boys in the change room,” Trott said during the post-match conference.
Afghanistan’s next match is against Australia at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday. The result of this match will decide if they can still compete for a spot in the semi-finals.
