Afghanistan head coach Jonathan Trott has expressed concern over the condition of the outfield at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala after Afghanistan lost to Bangladesh in their opening World Cup match. Players from Afghanistan and Bangladesh fell down multiple times while fielding on Saturday.
Afghanistan had a poor batting performance against Bangladesh and had no chance against Bangladesh’s spinners and were bowled out for a low score of 156 runs in just 37.2 overs.
Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmanullah Gurbaz had a promising opening partnership with 47 runs, but Afghanistan’s batting line-up collapsed under pressure from Bangladesh’s bowlers in the middle overs and was below average in the match.
Talking to the media, Jonathan Trott was not too happy with the Dharamshala outfielder. He fell during the World Cup on Saturday and he feels that leading spinner Mujeeb-ur-Rahman was lucky to escape injury. They will play against Bangladesh in the cup match.
“If you have a player who doesn’t know if he can jump… If you have a player who is worried about injury, we are lucky. Mujeeb has not had a serious knee injury.” There is an injury. So please take a look. But I don’t blame it (the loss) in any way, but it’s something to keep in mind for the future,” said Trott.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz led Afghanistan’s scores with a 62-ball 47, but his efforts were better than the team’s in the opener and mid-order players including Hashmatullah Shahidi and Mohammad Nabi It was not enough to guarantee a competitive score for the team/strong>Failure to make a significant contribution to the team against Bangladesh’s top-class attack.
I Know The Boys Will Be Really, Really Up For It – Jonathan Trott
Jonathan Trott admits it was a tough loss against Bangladesh and wants to improve in the next match against India and defending champions England, so the team can further improve on their performance against India on October 11. I look forward to your efforts.
“We are aware of the areas where we need to improve. We currently have two big games coming up, one against India in Delhi and one against England. We have to dust ourselves off. A few training sessions and then a big game against India will be a great spectacle. I think the boys will really enjoy it,” added Jonathan Trott.
Shakib Al Hasan and Mehdi Hasan Milas took 3 wickets each to set up their team’s victory over Afghanistan, Shakib Al Hasan’s side easily surpassed the total and won the match by 6 wickets with 15.2 overs remaining Did.
