The Netherlands head coach Ryan Cook identified a self-destructive streak of run outs – the Dutch aspect misplaced 4 of its top-order batters in that vogue — as a significant motive for his aspect’s seven-wicket defeat in opposition to Afghanistan on Thursday.
“We do pride ourselves on running between the wickets and it’s something that we actually practice. Four run outs and not just any run outs — that are two, three, four, and five in your batting order — getting run out is not ideal. We’ll have to go back and have a look at that but it won’t stop us, it’s part of the DNA of our team. We’ll keep trying to run between the wickets and value every run like we do,” stated Cook.
Afghanistan, on the different hand, is a aspect flying excessive on confidence, having gained its final three matches. But it didn’t get pleasure from the better of begins to the match, dropping the first two matches, in opposition to Bangladesh and India respectively.
Afghanistan head coach Jonathan Trott pinpointed the India match as a turning level in the marketing campaign.
“I think we saw a bit of form coming into the side against India. Obviously, we lost the game but then that gave us a bit of confidence. There are certain things we need to get better [at].
“We need to improve on it for the next game against Australia in Mumbai,” stated Trott.
Afghanistan, which is fifth in the factors desk, will tackle South Africa in its final league-stage match, after dealing with Australia. The prospect of dealing with two of the greatest batting items of this World Cup doesn’t fear Trott an excessive amount of.
“You’ve got to definitely prepare and have a look at how the opposition is going to play. But the thing is, we just focus on how we play and what makes us the side that we are. We’ve got to make sure that we don’t look at the opposition too much and forget about what we’ve got to do well,” stated Trott.
