Head coach Jonathan Trott feels despite losing against India at the World Cup, the match worked as a confidence booster for Afghanistan, who have started believing they can also win and dominate games..
Enjoying their best-ever performance, Afghanistan have registered comprehensive wins of over three former champions -- England, Pakistan and Sri Lanka -- and the Netherlands to keep alive their semifinal hopes...
Obviously, we lost the game but then that gave us a bit of confidence," Trott said after Afghanistan's seven-wicket win over the Netherlands here on Friday...
We just need to start 1-1 or 2 and we'll get that confidence and belief and a bit of a spring in our step and that we can win those close games but also dominate games if we get the opportunity to," Trott said.. Afghanistan, who are just outside the top 4 in fifth spot, play inform Australia and South Africa in their last two league fixtures...
A lot of teams, you don't have the option of playing four spinners, or the quality of the four spinners," Trott said.. "It's important to dovetail in a in a long tournament like this and it's good to see the guys doing that..
