In which after the defeat to the Afghan team, he said that 20 runs cost us a lot in this match. Many teams have bowled first in this tournament, so I don't think that after winning or losing the toss you win or lose the match. Our fielding was very poor in this match. Both the teams played on this wicket in which batting was not an easy task. I can say that Afghanistan completely outplayed us in this match today. We just have to think about victory from here in the upcoming matches.5 catches dropped in fielding and only 3 players reached double digits in battingIf we talk about the fielding of the Australian team in this match, it was seen to be very poor in which they dropped 5 catches.
