    T20 WC: Rashid Khan Reflects On ‘execution,’ Points Out Areas Of Improvement After Afghanistan’s Loss To NZ

    T20 World Cup: Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan admitted his side fell short in key phases, particularly with the ball and during the powerplay, and noted the areas where the team could improve after they suffered a five-wicket defeat to New Zealand in theopening game of Group D of the T20 World Cup at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Sunday.

    Afghanistan posted a competitive 182/6 after being put in to bat, built around a well-paced innings from Gulbadin Naib, who struck 63 off 35 balls to anchor the middle overs. Contributions from Sediqullah Atal, Darwish Rasooli and late cameos from Azmatullah Omarzai and Mohammad Nabi helped push the total beyond 180, a score Rashid believed was defendable on the surface.

    Reflecting on the bowling effort, Rashid said, “We learnt a lot with the ball. I thought 182 was a good score to defend but we gave too many balls to score.”
