Afghanistan capable of beating any side after WC 24’: Rashid Khan said it was a tough night for us as a team and we could've done better than us. But conditions didn't let us do that but you should be mentally ready for any situation.
“I thought we didn't bat well. We were struggling when Mujeeb got injured, but Nabi, Fazal...that made our job as a spinning unit easier,” Rashid explained.
“The consistency in bowling was something pleasing for me. We came here before the tournament and if you told us we would be playing the semi-final against South Africa, we would accept that. Winning big games in this competition...and yes we are capable of beating any side,” he said.
“Next time when we participate in a tournament like this, we will have the belief. It's about how you manage yourself in those pressure situations against tough teams,” Afghanistan captain said during a post-match ceremony.
Rashid Khan said: “There is a lot of hard work to be done, especially in the middle order. We need to be aggressive and have someone to take the innings deep.”
“We have achieved some good results but when we come back in the tournament, we need to do better, especially in the batting department,” he said.
