‘Data analyst ko nikal he do tum’ – Fans react as Jonathan Trott admits Afghanistan did not know about qualification scenarios for Super 4 of Asia Cup 2023

Jonathan Trott, the head coach of Afghanistan, has acknowledged that they lost out on a Super 4 berth at the Asia Cup 2023 because they were unaware of the equations and computations. According to Trott, the exact estimates were never shared.

The Asian country missed out on the Super 4 round of the competition by six runs and ultimately lost to Sri Lanka by two runs. They needed three runs off of one delivery to surpass Sri Lanka’s net run rate at the conclusion of their 37th over during the innings, which put them at 289-8. If Afghanistan had made 293 after 37.2 overs, 294 after 37.3 overs, 295 after 37.5 overs, 296 post 38 overs, or 297 following 38.1 overs, they still may have edged the Island country.

“We weren’t told what the overs in which we could get 295 or 297” : Jonathan Trott

The former England batter claimed that they had just been told that the goal had been reached in 37.1 overs during the post-game news conference.

He said, “We were never communicated those calculations. All we were communicated was we needed to win in 37.1 overs. We weren’t told what the overs in which we could get 295 or 297. [That we could win in] 38.1 overs was never communicated to us.”

No.11 If Fazalhaq Farooqi had hit a boundary off the first ball of the 38th over or a maximum during the subsequent two or three deliveries, he may have reached the aforementioned goals. Instead, he stopped two Dhananjaya de Silva deliveries and was LBW while attempting to play another dot delivery.

Trott believed they had made a number of other errors and refused to blame only this one for their defeat. The 42 year old said, “I don’t think there’s one reason we lost the game. There are areas of the game we could have done better [in] and that goes for today’s game and the one against Bangladesh. We got some things horribly wrong in a few areas and it’s cost us. It’d be nice if we’d bowled them out a bit cheaper. But it wasn’t to be.”
