Men’s ODI WC: Match Against India Gave Us A Bit Of Confidence, Says Jonathan Trott On Afghanistan’s Batting
ODI World Cup: Though Afghanistan lost to hosts’ India in 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup, head coach Jonathan Trott believes that match gave his team some confidence from a batting perspective, which has propelled them to win four matches, latest of which came over the Netherlands.
At the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Friday, Afghanistan chased down a paltry 180 in 31.3 overs, making this their third straight clinical run-chase in a row, thus keeping their semi-final hopes alive.
“I think we saw a bit of form coming into the side against India. Obviously we lost the game but then that gave us a bit of confidence. I said we'd lost so many close games leading into the series against Pakistan and then in the Asia Cup.”
