Afghanistan Still To Prove Middle…
The winning of a BIG game in the group-stage of the 2024 t20 World Cup would not necessitate hope for Afghanistan to be in the top 4. New Zealand bowlers did a good job, but the openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran played superbly. The projected score by then was about 170 plus. Afghanistan reached 159 thanks to Azmatullah Omarzai’s cameo as a top order batter, who did well after the fall of their first wicket.
From there, yet another no good show by the middleorder. Could anyone challenge Afghanistan, which would be in the super eight or not? But to be in the semifinals or be in the top 4, yes many would challenge Afghanistan.
The rise of Afghanistan in the cricket world is not due to their clear focus about what next they would learn. Will their middleorder apply herculean efforts to chase a target of 170 plus, which is just because no team would hope to set a target of 180 plus for Afghanistan. This is the point to discuss how it would be possible for Afghanistan to post a fighting score or chase a tough target when couple of early wickets, they lose. Luck plays her part in cricket, but efforts would be counted and registered in the record books.
What a cricket team requires is to work on and keep working on where is the weak point in their playing 11. Surely Afghanistan still to prove middleorder performances. A dependable middleorder similar to their openers is much more than just a need for Afghanistan.
Bowling is very good, but fielding is just like a cameo, as if some very good saves to some good catches, and rest just ordinary. However, every good team have a point of weakness, but good opponents focus upon any team’s strength. This way, the fall of couple of early wickets would put pressure on the middleorder. Yes, Afghanistan still to prove middleorder performances.
