“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.

So before the important match of the Afghan team against Bangladesh, the team’s head coach Jonathan Trott has given a big statement about the team’s batting. 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?

So after this victory of the Afghan team, the race for the semi-finals in Super 8 Group 1 has become more exciting. The road to the semi-finals gets complicated India need to win their final Super 8 match against Australia to make it to the semi-finals, but a loss against Australia could complicate matters, especially if the margin of defeat is substantial. Team India’s net run rate is currently +2.425, but cricket is an unpredictable game, anything can happen here at any time. After this, Australia, which is in the group, will have to win against India in their last Super 8 match if they want to make it to the semi-finals. Australia’s run rate is currently +0.223 and they will also have to pray that Afghanistan does not win their next match against Bangladesh by a big margin. So Afghanistan, which has a net run rate of -0.650 at the moment, can also make it to the semi-finals, but for this it is very important for them to win their last Super 8 match against Bangladesh. Also, the margin of this victory should be sufficient, and India should beat Australia by a big margin. Apart from this, Bangladesh is also not completely out. Bangladesh has lost both the Super 8 matches played. Currently, its net run rate is -2.489 and to remain in the semi-finals, it will have to beat Afghanistan by a big margin, and pray that India beats Australia by a big margin.
