The victory is historic, but a mistake was made here
After Afghanistan's victory, captain Rashid Khan called this victory historic. However, he looked disappointed with his performance. After the match, captain Rashid Khan said, “This victory is very big for us as a team and a country. This is a wonderful feeling. We have failed to do this for the last 2 years. I am very happy with this victory and I am proud of my players. It is very important for us that we play with the same playing-11 which was needed for this match. We are selecting the playing-11 only after studying the opposition team. A score of about 140 runs is considered good on this pitch. But we could have done better than this. We could not do what we wanted to do.
Our opening batsmen gave us a great start. After this we scored a good score. Our bowlers performed brilliantly. The way Gulbadin bowled shows his experience. Nabi gave a good start and took Warner's wicket. This ball was worth watching. This victory is very important for us. I am sure our country and the world would have enjoyed this wonderful game.
We played poorly: Mitchell Marsh
Australian captain Mitchell Marsh praised the game. He gave the reasons for the team's defeat. Mitchell Marsh said that Afghanistan might have scored 20 runs more. We could have restricted them to around 120. Many teams have bowled first in this tournament. Winning or losing the toss does not matter. But we believe that we did not perform well on the field. Playing on this wicket was not easy at all. But overall the game was good. We did lose the match but moving forward we just need to win. Our team is strong. Our best team can do this. We are looking forward to the upcoming matches.
