Coach Jonathan Trott on Afghanistan world cup semi final chances after Sri Lanka win
Apart from Rohit Sharma’s India in the World Cup 2023, if any Asian team has created a sensation with its performance, it is the Afghanistan team. The Afghanistan team has three wins in three matches in six World Cup matches. Along with it, the Afghanistan team has six points and is placed fifth in the points table. After defeating the three World Cup champions Sri Lanka, Pakistan and England, the Afghanistan team has made a chance to reach the semi-finals.
Their coach Jonathan Trott has been instrumental in Afghanistan’s performance. The spin attack of the Afghan team is currently considered the best in the world. Jonathan Trott has set targets in every match for a talented Afghanistan team and has motivated the batsmen to perform better. The team’s next three matches are against Netherlands on November 3, South Africa on November 7 and South Africa on November 10. The team will have to win all three matches to strengthen their claim to enter the semi-finals. It certainly won’t be easy but no team will make the mistake of taking it easy given the way the Afghan team has produced three upsets so far.
Afghanistan team head coach Jonathan Trott is happy with the performance but not completely satisfied. They now want a ‘knockout punch’ from the players. After the team’s victory in the match against Sri Lanka, Jonathan Trott talked about a new target for the batsmen of the Afghan team. He said, ‘None of our batsmen have scored a century in the tournament so far, so this will be the next challenge. A player has to accept this responsibility and bat for a long time to reach three figures.’
