Six months ago, Afghanistan made a remarkable appearance at the ODI World Cup in India, finishing sixth among the ten teams participating. They stunned many by defeating powerhouses like England, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. However, their run came to an end when they fell short against New Zealand in the group stage by 149 runs.
Despite this setback, Afghanistan coach Jonathan Trott is undeterred and maintains confidence in his team’s abilities. He believes that his squad can compete with any team in the world, just as they demonstrated during the 50-over World Cup. According to Trott, New Zealand is a formidable opponent with match-winners in all formats of the game.
Looking ahead to their upcoming encounter with New Zealand, Trott is eager for his team to prove themselves once again after their previous defeat. He is optimistic about the contest and recognizes the challenges that New Zealand poses while expressing confidence in his team’s potential to turn things around.
Trott’s positive attitude and unwavering belief in Afghanistan’s capabilities are a testament to their determination to perform at the highest level and showcase their talent against top-tier opponents like New Zealand. As they prepare for their rematch, Afghanistan will be looking to demonstrate that they have what it takes to come out on top.
