Afghanistan skipper Rashid Khan is pleased with his team’s batting strength. He feels they have a setup capable of chasing down a 200-run mark.
Afghanistan has experienced batting issues, which were evident during their T20I series against Ireland. They won the T20I series 2-1 but scored 111, 142/8, and 155/7.
As it’s clear, they only scored more than 150 runs once in three matches. But still, Rashid was confident in their batting lineup going into their T20 World Cup opener against Uganda at Providence Stadium. Afghanistan is set to begin their T20 World Cup journey against Uganda.
Rashid on Afghanistan’s Batting Skills
In a recent interview, Rashid stated,
“In the past, we were battling a little bit in the batting department. Previously, our bowlers would contribute significantly to our victories. Later, we learned about the young hitters, particularly those from Under-19 cricket, and how they rose to the national team and worked so hard.
Now our players have the option to play for Afghanistan at a very young age and then start exploring all around the world, playing leagues where they became better and better.”
Rashid believes that the mindset with which the players go out will decide if they can achieve a 200-point target. The 25-year-old also thinks that the team’s performance has improved with time.
“I believe we have a batting lineup that can handle a 200-run target on a surface. We have the ability, skills, and talent to express ourselves on the field and pursue it. Twenty20 cricket is all about the attitude.”
“Anything is achievable if you have the appropriate mentality and believe in your abilities. Then there’s cricket itself. I believe we’ve played enough cricket in recent years to see our talents improve. And we’ve been challenging the opposition,” he said.
