Disappointed Virat Kohli got the support of Rahul Dravid, the head coach consoled him by putting his hand on his shoulder in the dressing room

The best thing for the Indian team is that their bowlers have bowled very well in this tournament and they would definitely want to leave their mark against England as well. At present, despite losing two wickets early, India is still in control of the match.

“We have to bring such batsmen in the team who….”- Big statement by head coach after Afghanistan’s exit
We need to bring in more batsmen who can score runs by being consistent like openers and also give opportunities in the game – Jonathan Trott Jonathan Trott (Photo Source: X/Twitter) T20 World Cup 2024: Afghanistan has been eliminated from the tournament after losing the semi-final against South Africa. After this defeat, Rashid Khan and company’s dream of playing their first World Cup final has been shattered. Afghanistan has impressed everyone with its performance in the ongoing tournament. The team defeated teams like New Zealand and Australia, which would be wrong to call an upset. Meanwhile, after Afghanistan’s exit, the team’s head coach has given a big statement. Jonathan Trott says that the team will learn a lot from this World Cup. He has also expressed his displeasure over the team’s batting. The middle order has disappointed – Jonathan Trott In the semi-final match against South Africa, the team’s batting disappointed a lot. The team was all out for just 56 runs in 11.5 overs. Talking to ICC about the team’s batting, head coach Jonathan Trott said, I’m sure people will learn from this experience, we’ve got a better tournament than the last 50-over World Cup in November and it’s just about going step by step and hopefully we’ll learn from today. South Africa bowled really well and when they saw how the pitch behaved they knew how to bowl in the conditions and I think that’s bad because we haven’t really fired, the middle order batsmen haven’t fired enough in this World Cup. We have become more dependent on Gurbaz and Zadran- Head Coach The team has won every match in which the team’s openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran have given a good start. But this did not happen against South Africa, which led to the defeat. The head coach says that the team has become too dependent on Gurbaz and Zadran. There is a need to bring such batsmen in the team, who can score runs consistently like openers. We have perhaps become a little too dependent on Gurbaz and Ibrahim to score runs. Nobody else has scored runs. And we have to find the reason for this, we need to bring in more batsmen who can score runs by being consistent like openers and also give opportunities in the game. So this is our big project going forward.
“This is not the pitch you want to play a World Cup semi-final on” Head coach blames pitch for AFG’s defeat
Afghanistan coach Jonathan Trott has criticized the pitch used in Trinidad for the South Africa vs Afghanistan match. He has said that this pitch was not suitable to host the T20 World Cup semi-final. Afghanistan lost to the Proteas in the semi-final. Batting first, the Afghan team collapsed for just 56 runs, which was the lowest score ever by any team in a T20 World Cup semi-final. The South African bowlers were in great form right from the start of this match, with the Trinidad pitch having some uneven bounce and lateral seam movement helping the bowlers. The situation was the same in the second innings as well and the Proteas batsmen had to deal with the same problems, but in the end they won by 9 wickets. Jonathan Trott criticised the Trinidad pitch “I don’t want to embarrass myself and I don’t want to be a case of bitter or sour grapes, but this is not the pitch you want to play a World Cup semi-final on. The pitch has taken batting completely out of the game… it should be a fair contest. I’m not saying it should be completely flat, with no spin or seam movement, I’m saying you should give opportunities to the batsmen as well,” Trott said in the post-match press conference. Trott said, “We got back to the hotel at three o’clock and then we had to leave at eight o’clock – five hours later, so we didn’t get much sleep, so the players were very tired and they had to do a lot emotionally and physically. So this was all new for the players.” Trott admitted that they were outplayed by South Africa, but we knew the schedule, so that’s no excuse. When you go into a World Cup or tournament, you can’t have everything going your way, and you have to fight and play against the odds, which you have done many times and are proud of.
Sri Lanka got a big blow as it was out of the T20 World Cup, Chris Silverwood left the post of head coach
Sri Lanka was eliminated from the T20 World Cup in the group stage itself Chris Silverwood (Photo Source: Twitter) After the poor performance of the Sri Lanka cricket team in the ongoing T20 World Cup, the team’s head coach Chris Silverwood has resigned from the post. Earlier, Sri Lanka’s performance in the World Cup 2023 was not very good, after which the former coach of the England cricket team has taken this big decision. It is worth noting that Silverwood’s coaching career with the Sri Lankan cricket team started in a great way. Under the coaching of Silverwood, the team won the Asia Cup 2022 and also qualified for the 50-over Cricket World Cup. Apart from this, Sri Lanka defeated Australia in the T20 series and Bangladesh in the Test series under the coaching of Silverwood. But now he has relieved himself of this responsibility in the Sri Lankan cricket team citing personal reasons. A big statement from Chris Silverwood came out So after leaving the post of head coach of the Sri Lankan cricket team, Chris Silverwood said according to a statement issued by the Sri Lanka Cricket Board (SLC)- Being an international coach means being away from your family for long periods of time. After long conversations with my family and with a heavy heart, I feel it is time to return home and spend some quality time together. I would like to thank the players, coaches, backroom staff and management of SLC for their support during my time in Sri Lanka. None of the success would have been possible without your support. It has been a true honour to be a part of Sri Lanka Cricket and I will take many fond memories with me. Also, let us tell you that after the poor performance in the T20 World Cup 2024, Mahela Jayawardene also decided to leave the post of bowling consultant in the team. So now Chris Silverwood being relieved of his role is not a good sign for Sri Lanka cricket.

We know how destructive he can be and we also know his game awareness. Matt further said- If the match demands a different kind of game from him (Kohli), then he has that too. Therefore, he is a different kind of player. As I have said, what has happened to him throughout the tournament does not matter, big players come forward only in big matches. On the other hand, if we talk about Virat Kohli’s statistics against England in T20 cricket, he has scored a total of 639 runs in 20 matches played at an average of 39.93 and a strike rate of 135.66.

Will four spinners get a chance to play in the match against Australia? Responding to this question in the pre-match press conference, Paras Mahambre said, “It all depends on the pitch – I expect the pitch to be not that favorable for spinners, I think yes three spinners are being included, I think team combination is very important, so I am not sure about all the other places. If, I am saying that, I don’t think the surface will be that dry and will turn that much, but yes, if the surface is like that, there will be a lot of wear and tear on the wicket, yes for a spinner, if you feel that is the best option that you want to go with and enter the match, you can go with it as well.” Let us tell you that India has a chance to eliminate Australia from the tournament.
