World Cup 2023: Afghanistan first victory secret revealed

Afghanistan registered a historic victory after losing to the defending champions England in the 13th match of the ODI World Cup 2023. It is special that the mastermind of England is behind this victory of the Afghanistan force. Speaking at the press conference before this match, the Jonathan Trott coach of the Afghanistan team said that our team has the ability to beat any team.

To justify the statement of the coach, the Afghanistan team has beaten the strong England team. What is special here is that the coach of the Afghanistan team is a former England player. Thus, the head coach of the Afghanistan team, Jonathan Trott, had made a special plan to beat the English. Afghan players have succeeded in making this project a success.

Trott instructed the Afghan players to bat aggressively before starting the innings. Similarly, Rahmanullah Gurbaz (80), who batted fearlessly, scored a brilliant half-century. Also this innings was carried well by other batters. As a result, Afghanistan scored 284 runs in 49.5 overs despite being bowled out.

Jonathan Trott also knew that 285 runs was an easy target for the strong England side. But the coach, who had confidence in the Afghan spinners, had suggested an over from Mujeeb Rahman in the powerplay itself. The England batsmen, who batted aggressively for the pacers, struggled to score runs against the spinners.

Taking full advantage of this, Mujeeb ur Rehman took 3 wickets while Mohammad Nabi took 2 wickets. In the final phase, Rashid Khan, who was a spin charmer, took 3 wickets. With this, the England team was bowled out for 215 runs in 40.3 overs. Through this, the master plan of coach Jonathan Trott to beat the England team using spin weapons was successful.
