“There is a lot of difference between 2019 and now and recently we have defeated them [South Africa] In Sharjah – 2–1 – So we have that confidence and we are not under pressure anyway, “Shahidi said at his press conference on Thursday.” Because now we can do in this tournament and I believe that we are focusing and I believe that our team is more ready for this tournament and we are focusing on our team. There is no pressure on us. ,
“First, about the people here – there are a lot of Afghans,” Shahidi said. “They live here in Karachi and Pakistan and there are many Pashtun people, I think, they support us. So yes, yes, yesterday, a lot of crowds used to shout for us yesterday, yes. [during training] And it feels good and it assures us that we have supporters about our performance here and our performance. ,
“We are very good and, in this tournament, we are here to compete and our aim is to win the final,” Shahidi said. “We are not here to participate here in this tournament. We are definitely watching 100% to win this program as well as because we have played a lot of quality cricket for the last two years and it is for us There is a good chance because it is very experienced for boys and these conditions are also suitable for us.
,[But] We have also made a good look at him – I think perhaps there is one such team that we played in Sharjah which would have been coming again. So, I think we know what is expected. ,
Bavuma said that the challenge for his bowlers in this tournament would have to maintain his discipline on batting -friendly tracks. “I think in the context of situations here, what we have expected is a good look at it. Perhaps the batsman’s friendly wicket and I think there is a good challenge for the bowlers. Our challenge as a bowling unit One is more disciplined and accurate bowling units.
“From a batting point of view, scoreboard pressure is a big thing. People are going in, making sure they grow up so that we can challenge them for 330-340-350 types of scores.”
Shahidi on playing in Afghanistan: ‘Hopefully the day comes’
“I have responded to this in Pashto, but let me say it again because in the media I have heard a lot from other countries. [Afghanistan] There are no facilities, they do not have stadiums, they do not have academies. This is completely wrong, “Shahidi said.” We have good facilities. We have cricket academies. We have a high performance center in Kabul and Jalalabad as well as, we have stadiums in every region of Afghanistan. Therefore, we have the facility to call a team to come to Afghanistan, but there were some security issues in our country why other countries are not coming, but hopefully, soon, as soon as possible, one of the countries, Afghanistan You will come and you will and you will also see the crowd.
“When we play domestic cricket, it is completely packed. Even people wait outside the stadium and try to see and watch domestic games, such as more than 50,000, 40,000 or or 40,000 or 30,000 people come to the finals of an event. Come to Afghanistan, there will be fans and come to the stadium because there are many craze for cricket. “
