Kane Williamson gave a big statement
Let us tell you that after the match between New Zealand and Afghanistan ended, Kane Williamson said during the post-match – First of all congratulations to Afghanistan, they left us behind in every department in the match. They saved their wickets on such a pitch and made a good total. We have to forget this defeat quickly, and come back for the next challenge.
Williamson further said- The matches in the tournament are very short and end quickly. It was difficult to chase a score of 160 runs, but after that the skill shown by their spin bowlers made this target very difficult.
Our fielding was weak, especially in the first 10 overs, we had chances but we did not use them. We did not take advantage of the opportunity and this changed the result of the match to a great extent. We will talk about this and then try to make a good comeback in the next match.
