Ibrahim Zadran told where the team went wrong

In the second T-20 match played with India, Afghanistan had to face defeat by 7 wickets. After this defeat, Ibrahim Zadran accepted the mistakes of his team and admitted that they had made a mistake.

When asked about the difficulties in correcting the mistakes of the last match, captain Ibrahim Zadran said, yes, of course, we faced difficulties again. We didn't get what we wanted, but as a team we thought about how to improve and what approach to take in international cricket, especially against big teams. Yes, I would say that we did not play well in the powerplay. That's why we didn't get momentum there. They put pressure on us.

Important thing said about bowlers

In the second T20 match too, not only Afghanistan's batsmen disappointed but the bowlers also looked ineffective. The result was that the Indian batsmen batted aggressively and achieved the target in the 15th over itself. Regarding the bowlers, Zardan said, “I give credit to the bowlers, we will look to improve in that area and I am sure then we will be able to compete against the biggest teams of international cricket.”

The captain talked about changing his thinking

Said in the dressing-room conversation after the first match and on the target score, “We thought how to take the score of 150-160 above 200. So we need to bring that intention in the team. If you score 60 runs in the powerplay with the right mindset, then there is no problem. But we should play with the right mindset to score more than 200 runs. But yes, we did not do that.”

Ibrahim Zadran told how Afghanistan will improve

Ibrahim Zadran admitted the shortcomings of his team and also told how they can improve and become better and compete with big teams like India.

he adds, “I am sure that if we have to beat big teams at the international level, we will have to improve in this area. But I will also say that this was only our second match this year. We did not get to play many matches. So as I said earlier, we will think about it. As soon as we improve in that area, I am sure that we will be able to challenge the big teams.”
