Accepting defeat against a team like South Africa
Rashid Khan said after the match that as a team we are very strong. We could have done well, but the circumstances were not in our favor. This is what happens in T20 cricket. You have to face all kinds of situations. South African bowlers bowled well. We lost wickets in the beginning, due to which we fell behind in the match. We have also reached this far in this tournament on the strength of our bowling.
Rashid further said that Mujeeb's injury has increased our problems. We bowled well in this match as well. Mohammad Nabi started the tournament well with the new ball. Our spin bowlers performed well. The fast bowlers took wickets quickly. We gave ourselves a chance to reach the semi-finals and lose against a strong team like South Africa. This is the beginning for us. Now we have the confidence to defeat any team and win the match. We will continue this. We have learned a lot from this tournament. We still have to work a lot on ourselves. We have to improve our batting. We will enter the next tournament with better preparation. We are confident that we will perform well.
Good thing we lost the toss…
South Africa captain Aiden Markram said after the match that he is very happy. The team has reached this point not just by a captain but by the whole team. Many people have worked behind the scenes to prepare this team. It was good that we lost the toss otherwise we would have also batted. We started well with the new ball. The bowlers made our way easy by bowling on line and length. It was difficult to bat on this pitch. We were lucky in terms of partnership. Now the title of this tournament is just one step away. We have never reached the final before. We will not be afraid of it but will face it. We have world class players. Our entire team is ready to face this challenge.
