Afghanistan team made such a big mistake that the team had to drop out of Asia Cup 2023. Team head coach Jonathan Trott has also accepted this mistake. The mistake was that the team did not know the equation that even if they won against Sri Lanka after 37.1 overs, they would still qualify for the Super 4 or the net run rate would be tied. This is the reason why two former Indian cricketers have organized a class for the Afghanistan team’s support staff.
Actually, Afghanistan had a target of 292 runs to win the match against Sri Lanka. However, to qualify for Super 4, this target had to be achieved in 37.1 overs in any case. The Afghanistan team management was told the same thing, but the reality was that after 37.1 overs, Afghanistan still had a chance to improve their net run rate and qualify for the Super 4. However, the team was disappointed after 37.1 overs.

Mujeeb ur Rahman was caught trying to hit a boundary off the first ball of the 38th over, when Fazlhaq Farooqui, who came to the crease as the last batsman, did not even know he was still in the match. He also defended the next full toss ball, when the third ball was empty and he was dismissed lbw on the fourth ball. At that time Afghanistan needed 3 runs to win and Sri Lanka qualified for the Super 4 by winning the match by 2 runs.
37. The equation after 1 over was that if the team had scored 295 or 297 runs in 37.3 balls they would have won the match and the net run rate would have been better. Apart from this, there was also a chance that if the team had scored 297 runs in 37.5 overs, the net run rate would have been even and in this case the Super 4 would have been decided by a toss. However, the Afghanistan team had no information about this, which was disclosed by the Afghanistan team head coach Jonathan Trott after the match.

He said, “His team had no idea that it was possible to chase down the target even after 37.1 overs. They only knew that they had to chase down the target in 37.1 overs. 295 in 37.3 or 37.5 overs. Or they were not told about it. 297 Score of runs. On this, former Indian cricketer Akash Chopra said, “What a match it was. One analyzes the analysts… how come they don’t know the equation?”
At the same time, another former Indian cricketer Venkatesh Prasad tweeted, “It’s a pity. Afghanistan fought very bravely, but they didn’t know they could get 6 runs in the last 3 balls and they blocked the match thinking that.” “They can’t do it. Reminds me of Marc Boucher at the 2003 World Cup. The support staff need to be more active, especially in qualifying situations like this.”
