T20 WC: Afghanistan Coach Trott Hails Ibrahims Resilience On Hitting 53 In Victory Over UAE

T20 World Cup: Afghanistan head coach Jonathan Trott praised opener Ibrahim Zadrans mental strength after his match-winning 53 took the side home in a chase of 161 against the UAE, saying the youngster showed the ability to bounce back from setbacks. At the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi, Zadran hit a composed 53 off 41 balls while Azmatullah Omarzais cameo of 40 not out ensured the chase was completed for Afghanistan with four balls to spare, even as UAEs bowlers fought hard to keep the contest alive. The result also means Afghanistan have kept their slim hopes of reaching the Super Eights alive, though it could be dashed if New Zealand beat Canada in Chennai on Tuesday. Zadran steadied the innings through a fluent knock laced with five fours and a six and played his part in sealing Afghanistans first points in the tournament. It was great, the mental strength, and he obviously had two disappointing performances for him, you would say. Against New Zealand, he looked set, and against South Africa, he looked in great form. But the strength of Ibrahim is that he is always able to bounce back and play good cricket shots, and today obviously he lost his mate early on. They have such a good record. I'd like to see their opening record against the best players in the world. I think they've got a fantastic record batting together. So that's a real strong point for us. Losing early wickets, but being able to hold his nerve and having that mental strength from Ibrahim was brilliant today, said Trott, while replying to a query from IANS in the post-match press conference. Reflecting on the tense finish, Trott said the side had shown resilience in closing out a tight chase, especially after suffering the heartbreaking loss to South Africa by a double Super Over in Ahmedabad. We played really well and were under pressure. But that's the pleasing thing for me as a coach, and what I've liked is that it would have been a lot easier. But at the end of the day, when you come out on the right side of pressure situations like we were having in the history of the last game, I've certainly seen a shift. We've lost tight games like that, and then after that, it's been hard to pull it back, the confidence. So I see a bit of an improvement in the resilience, cricketing-wise, but also mentally. Sure, there's a lot of work still to be done, and that's going to be exciting to watch, but I'm really pleased the guys can come away, and we can go off to Chennai. I'm really excited about playing an important game against Canada with a bit of confidence, he added. Trott also called for more exposure for Afghanistan in different conditions via bilateral affairs. I would like a lot more bilateral series also away from home or out of the UAE or out of the subcontinent, learning to play in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, West Indies, playing against different teams other than the subcontinent. That would be fantastic for the development of the side -- so I'd be all for that, and I'd like to see that in the new future tours programme. It'd be really interesting to see how that shapes up when that's released and the opportunity the guys get. So I'd be very much for that, and whatever can help the players, I'm all for it, he said. Allrounder Gulbadin Naib, meanwhile, dismissed suggestions that the teams first win of the tournament was a relief, insisting every match remained a challenge. Relief? Since I started playing cricket, every match is a challenge for us. In terms of relief, you can say that when you come for a purpose and try, because we can try, and if you lose a match like this (to South Africa), then when you think about it, you think that everything is over. But every day is a new start, and in tournaments like this, it is not easy. You cannot take any team easily because every team is fully prepared. Look at Zimbabwe, how they defeated Australia. Look at a new team like Italy, they are playing very well. Everyone knows our style of cricket, but what I see in my team, which was not there before, is that in chasing, we used to depend more on bowling. But now, mashallah, our boys are dominating in batting and playing comfortably. This is a plus point for us. There is no relief, but there is a lot of hurt. But what can we do? You all must have seen the match and the way our boys made an effort. But what happens is that if we made 100 percent effort, but they made 1percent more than us. So this is the difference in big teams, but we cannot say anything, and we can only hope, he told reporters in the mixed zone. Naib said the side had shown character after the double Super Over defeat to the Proteas, who have sealed their Super Eights spot. The atmosphere of the team creates everything. It was a high-pressure game and not that easy. In such a tough situation, if someone is batting or bowling, we have to give kudos to them for doing this, as it then becomes a do-or-die situation. Players can just put in their efforts, and no one can say that we are good or bad or vice-versa. We can only try to give our best. One thing is that you can't underestimate anyone or any team. But the hard work we have done for this tournament, and have been doing, because we believe in our skills and we look at ourselves. We don't look at the opposition, whatever it is, because we treat every team the same, he said. He added that Afghanistans players had gained valuable experience from playing in and against the UAE side for quite some time. Afghanistan is not at that level now because all our boys play all over the world, as this is a big advantage for us. Yes, we play a lot of cricket in the UAE and with their players in ILT20. But yes, against the UAE team, you can say 'yes, we knew of them because we played a lot of cricket with and against them'. It is tough in such situations, in big events, and it is not easy. But still, when you play against them regularly, it becomes an advantage. We do look at them because when you play a good match and come back, then your morale is high and everything is positive. But yes, the UAE is a good team, like they did today, said Naib. But yes, against the UAE team, you can say 'yes, we knew of them because we played a lot of cricket with and against them'. It is tough in such situations, in big events, and it is not easy. But still, when you play against them regularly, it becomes an advantage. Also Read: Live Cricket Score At one time it seemed tough, but still, our chasing style, which the boys have been doing, and this belief has led to us knowing that we can do it, because earlier we used to chase and defend. All the load was on the bowlers, but this is a good thing, and now the bowlers are in a relaxed mood, as batters are doing the job. Article Source: IANS

T20 WC: With An All-round Show In New Delhi, Azmatullah Omarzai Highlights His Value Yet Again

T20 World Cup: In Afghanistans heartbreaking loss to South Africa via a double Super Over, Azmatullah Omarzai had a decent performance -- scoring 16 with the bat in the first Super Over. But when he was tasked to bowl in the second one, Omarzai was taken to cleaners, conceding 23 runs, including three sixes, as Afghanistan lost the match they had in their grasp. In the run-up to the clash against the UAE in New Delhi, where Afghanistan needed to win to end their winless run and keep their slim hopes of making it to the Super Eights alive, Omarzais numbers with the ball were mixed he was his sides highest wicket-taker with four scalps, but conceded 40-plus runs in both matches at an economy rate of 10.3. But the thing about elite sportspersons is, when it matters the most, they step up with their best performance to carry the team to victory, and Omarzai did exactly that on Monday picking 4-15 and hitting 40 not out with the bat to give Afghanistan their first win of this competition. It also made Omarzai only the third player in this competitions history, after Dwayne Bravo and Shakib Al Hasan, to claim a four-wicket haul and hit a 30-plus score in the same match. Azmat is no doubt one of the best in this cricketing world and in this generation. The way Azmat dominates in the team, not only in bowling, but also in batting and fielding efforts, he is one of the best now in the world of cricket, whether it is a 50-hour or 20-over game and he is something different, Afghanistan all-rounder Gulbadin Naib replied to a query from IANS in the mixed zone at the conclusion of the game, when asked about Omarzai. The first ball of this match was a beauty slanting away from a good length as Aryansh Sharma gave it a chase and edged behind. The only question was whether Rahmanullah Gurbaz got his gloves underneath it before the ball made contact with the turf. But Paul Reiffel decided he had not, and Sharma survived, but the danger of the movement generated by Omarzai was there. The next ball beat Aryansh, while the other one after that was a touch shorter and moved across. But the fourth one from Omarzai enticed Aryansh to go for the pull, but it came too early, and the under-edge was taken cleanly by Gurbaz, giving Omarzai his first wicket. Naib, who has seen Omarzai develop from a promising youngster to being one of the mainstays in the team, revealed how he asked him to pick five wickets in New Delhi. When we were talking in the morning, and Rashid (Khan, Afghanistan captain) was standing alongside, I told him that, Azmat, I need 5 wickets from you and he was looking at me like anything. I said that because he has done it, and in the Champions Trophy, he took five wickets against England in Lahore and made runs too, which gave us that indication. Our job as senior players is to give positive energy to the players. When he was bowling and took a wicket in the first over, I said, One down, I need four more wickets. You can say this to a youngster, as the way Azmat is doing for our cricket, Ibrahim Zadran, Gurbaz, Darvish Rasooli, Sediqullah Atal, every country needs players like this. But luckily, our talent is not limited by our facilities, and we are the best team in terms of talent due to players like Azmat, he added. On a pitch that had early morning moisture, but not much of outright assistance for the bowlers, UAE got into the rebuilding act thanks to an 84-run partnership between Alishan Sharafu and Sohaib Khan, with the latter's 48-ball 68 putting them on course for a winning total until Omarzai had his say. In the 15th over, not quite fitting into the definition of the death overs phase, but it was a time when Afghanistan needed to claw back into the match. Omarzais twist came when he squared up Syed Haider as he backed away and then kissed the top of the off stump. He then bowled a full one that Harshit Kaushik had to swish at and edged behind, but the real sucker punch was in the 19th over, when he dismissed Sohaib with a bumper and got him out for 68, something which denied UAE a good finishing flourish, as seen from their final five overs being 46/4. That's a huge area at the moment. Certainly, here in a small field like here at Delhi, it's quite tough and the quick outfield. So you've got to get it right. Azmats boldness was crucial. There were areas where we bowled earlier on that we were nowhere near up to standard with the newer ball. But at the end, you could see when you get it right, and you bowl to your plan, it's actually quite tough, certainly on these wickets. The thing for me is that Ahmedabad is very different from Delhi. It can't just be one thing or one trick. You've got to be able to have those variations, and Azmat was able to do that today, and that's what turned the game. If they'd gone on and scored an extra 10 runs in the last two overs, it would have been a very different game. So that's what I said to the guys at drinks break after 14 overs - that we got to limit them here and make the job easier for ourselves in the second innings because chasing on this outfield and this pitch certainly is going to be tricky. Yes, it's quick, but the pitch is starting to wear a little bit after use. We got a few things right, and I'm happy about that, said head coach Jonathan Trott, while replying to a query from IANS in the post-game press conference. In all, three of Omarzais four scalps came via the hard lengths, as his spell ensured Afghanistan had their best performance with the ball in the back-end, especially after that gut-wrenching loss to South Africa. In terms of professional players like Azmat, sometimes you have good days and bad days. But the atmosphere of the team, the management, and the coaching staff backed us up well. No doubt, the head coach was saying the same thing he talks when in losses. But after that, he just said, I am very happy with you today, and the effort you put in was unbelievable. We kept losing, but it was the coach's words that gave us more positive energy. But Azmat, no doubt on him, because this is the sign of big players. The way they fall, they do know how to get up. The style and type of bowler he is - out-swing, in-swing, and with a new ball, he has bowled this length more than in the starting. When we talk about the captain or the team management, we talk about it's his job, and he has always delivered. Today, in these conditions, which were totally suitable for batting and the way he came back in the second spell, I saw all of it because I was standing at a point where he beat the batters. But I think he is one of the toughest bowlers because it's not easy to play him on the nets. He is a special talent, elaborated Naib. His effectiveness in different phases of the innings spoke to his evolution as a fast bowler. Trott later raved about the work Omarzai had to put in to refine his death bowling skills. We've seen his development over the last year, certainly while I've been here. From a very young player now known around the world, obviously ICC Men's ODI Cricketer of the Year, and that doesn't happen by accident. So, a very good and very important player for us. His development with the national side has been huge, but also aided by playing in a few franchise leagues around the world. Certainly, this format has aided his development and sped that up. But I think he's going to be a very, very good cricketer for quite a while. I know he's thought of very highly around the world about other players and coaches. That's exciting, and he's a great player to have, and I enjoy coaching him. He's a real good character, likes to learn, and all three facets of the game are very good, he said. But his contribution in the run-chase spoke not merely of his skills as a world-class all-rounder, but also of the bounce-back ability that has been forged over years of competitive cricket. A six over long-off evaporated the pressure when Afghanistan needed 28 runs off 18 balls, and then another six over extra cover, an even better shot, pulling them out of troubled waters. I know he's thought of very highly around the world about other players and coaches. That's exciting, and he's a great player to have, and I enjoy coaching him. He's a real good character, likes to learn, and all three facets of the game are very good, he said. Also Read: Live Cricket Score For years, as Afghanistan rose through the ranks of international cricket from a plucky side to giant killers and now competitive mainstays, spin duo Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi, along with Gurbaz, have shouldered the responsibility of being this teams principal match-winners. Now one can safely put Omarzais name in that select club, as he provided plenty of proof of that on Monday. Article Source: IANS
