Jonathan Trott made a big statement
Let us tell you that before Afghanistan’s match against Bangladesh, Jonathan Trott said in the pre-match conference, as quoted by India Today – I think our team has the skill that can work immediately to build a partnership, a platform and then accelerate it.
I don’t think we have batted that well at the end of the innings. We haven’t scored a lot of runs there, and that’s something we need to work on more and better.
Trott further said- When you have options in batting, then they need to be used on such a platform. Therefore, this match against Bangladesh will be very important as to how we are going to play in this match. It is a good thing for us that we are playing on that pitch and against that team, about which we know a little bit.
It is worth noting that the head to head record between Afghanistan and Bangladesh in T20 is 5-4. It will be interesting to see whether Afghanistan is able to maintain this lead or not?
