00:00Assalam-o-Alaikum, hello and welcome to Surf Excel Presents ICC T20 World Cup Special Transmission
00:13Powered by Lifebuoy Shampoo and supported by Phoenix Battery.
00:17I am your host Najeeb Ul Hasan and as you know, today we have a competition between India
00:23and Afghanistan in Bridgetown, Barbados at 7.30 pm.
00:27I have with me my panel, Kamran Akmal, Basit Ali and Shahid Ashmi.
00:31Assalam-o-Alaikum, welcome to the show.
00:33Walaikum-as-salam.
00:34Kamran, for Afghanistan, the last match they played against West Indies before coming to Super 8,
00:42that must have given them an idea that the situation is very tough.
00:46And as soon as they come here, they face India. How do you see it?
00:48Absolutely, they were exposed in the last match. Their batting was exposed, bowling was exposed.
00:54Where there will be a true batting pitch, their bowling will also be seen struggling.
00:59Then you see, they are the number one T20 team and they have a great batting line-up.
01:06They are playing with tough conditions.
01:08So, they will also have a hunger that now it is time to make runs.
01:12Now they have to get the form back.
01:14So, I think the best chance is with the Indian team, but Afghanistan should not take it so easily.
01:19They have the ability to defeat any team.
01:23There is bowling, any bowler like Rashid Khan, Fazal Haq Farooqui is bowling.
01:30Then All-Rounder is very strong, Azmatullah Umarzai.
01:33So, I think they will have to play very carefully.
01:36If the Indian team dominates the first six overs, then maybe they will get 200 plus runs.
01:41But the thing is that their batting line-up is more dependent on Rahmatullah Gurbaz.
01:46Basit Bhai, Afghanistan has the best spin bowling of the Limited Overs.
01:51Is there any doubt in this?
01:53And along with that, fast bowlers are also supporting them.
01:57There are some batsmen who can play fast and take the game to one side.
02:01So, all the abilities are there.
02:03You said the right thing.
02:05The bowling attack is considered by the spin department world.
02:09And the way Farooqui will perform in this tournament.
02:12Gulbaz has been performing in different leagues.
02:15The way Farooqui has come up, we will see his bowling.
02:18But one thing is that this match is a test for India.
02:22Because he has come from a very tough condition.
02:24Neither his bowling has been exposed there, but everyone's batting has been exposed.
02:29So, today we have to see his bowling.
02:31If he has a good pitch for batting, what is his strength there?
02:36Today, the Indian team will come out openly.
02:39We will know their strong point and weak link.
02:42Absolutely right.
02:43Mr. Shahid, Zazai has also joined the team.
02:45What are the updates about the Afghanistan squad?
02:49Mujeeb has been ruled out.
02:50He is a very good bowler.
02:52And he gives variety.
02:53Like the right arm leg spinner is Rashid.
02:55Left arm spinner is off-break bowler Nabi.
02:58But Mujeeb gives a lot of variety.
03:00The way he uses the crease, he makes it very dangerous as a bowler.
03:04Today's match, as you can see, they should try to go close and lose.
03:10They should not lose one-sidedly.
03:11If they lose by a long run, then the net run rate will come in the final calculation in Super 8.
03:16Their next two matches are in St. Vincent.
03:19Which is more suitable for conditions and spinners.
03:22So, they will have to target those two more.
03:24Even if they lose today's match.
03:26But they have to see how they have to defeat Australia and Bangladesh.
03:30In 2023 ODI World Cup, they almost came close.
03:34It was a world-class inning by Glenn Maxwell that defeated them.
03:38So, Afghanistan should play today's match with full enthusiasm.
03:42At least, if they lose, then...
03:44If you used the word correctly.
03:46Otherwise, they will not think of losing.
03:48Because it is a day match.
03:49That's why it suits them.
03:50Spinners will not have the problem of dew or gripping.
03:55Their next two matches are night matches.
03:57Absolutely.
03:58What you are saying is what I wanted to ask.
04:01Why does Afghanistan come ahead of India?
04:05Does their aura and players' stardom put them under pressure?
04:10It seems so.
04:11They have lost 13 matches so far.
04:15So, they go to Australia.
04:17They have big players like Kohli and Rohit Sharma.
04:20If Fazal Farooqui out Kohli and Rohit in the beginning.
04:24Or if they go to their middle order.
04:26To 4th or 5th over.
04:27Then Afghanistan will get a crucial advantage.
04:30It happens often.
04:31They had a series of three matches in the beginning of the year.
04:34In that, they lost one match in a double super over.
04:37Yes, it is like that.
04:38So, obviously, we are talking about this game.
04:41So, let's move quickly.
04:42Surf Excel.
04:48So, what has been decided?
04:49It is a day match.
04:50Yes, it is a day match.
04:51How do you see the performance of both these teams?
04:53Obviously, India is far ahead.
04:56They won all the matches.
04:57I don't believe in old cricket.
05:02How is their form now?
05:04No doubt, Afghanistan has lost the last match.
05:07But they are playing very well in the whole tournament.
05:09And India didn't play so well.
05:11Although, they topped.
05:12But the pitches were not such that their batsmen got confidence.
05:16Today's match will decide the mood of India in the next tournament.
05:21Because the whole tournament will be in the Western leagues.
05:24So, we will see.
05:25The match should be good.
05:27Secondly, the condition has also changed.
05:29True batting pitch was made in St. Lucia.
05:32Because of which, 218 runs were made.
05:35In two overs, almost 60 runs were made for Afghanistan.
05:40Because of which, so many runs were made.
05:42We have seen so many matches here.
05:44Spinners are getting help there.
05:46They have spinners.
05:48So, they can put them under pressure.
05:50For example, both Virat Kohli and Roy Sharma got out.
05:55So, they can come under pressure.
05:56Then, the spinners can dominate.
05:58But for that, if they win the batting toss, they will have to bat first.
06:03Because they are totally depending on Indian batsmen.
06:07So, in bowling, like Neha bowl, Fazal Akhfarooqi is doing.
06:10He has more wickets than everyone.
06:12Match from America.
06:13Now, see, what is in the past is in the past.
06:16At that time, their cricket started.
06:18Now, the confidence they got in the World Cup in 2023,
06:21they won with big teams.
06:23So, it matters a lot in today's World Cup.
06:25In this T20 World Cup, after losing to a big team,
06:28they are looking like a different team.
06:30So, I don't think it will be an easy match.
06:32So, let's see the journey of both teams till here.
06:34In this World Cup, the matches won by India,
06:37the results will come in front of you.
06:40Obviously, India has not lost any match yet.
06:43They won against Ireland with 8 wickets.
06:48But the result doesn't show that the match was not that easy.
06:52I would say that Pakistan has lost that match.
06:56More than India's victory.
06:58In the middle, it seemed that USA can trouble them.
07:03Canada's match was abandoned.
07:05So, what Basit Bhai said,
07:07agreed that from here we will know
07:09what is the tone being set for this World Cup for India.
07:12The tournament for India has started from today.
07:14Whatever we played in America, it is over.
07:20This tournament is starting from today.
07:21Whether it is India, Australia or England,
07:24the 8 teams that have come, this tournament is for them.
07:27You see, South Africa has also played this condition.
07:30They have lost even more matches.
07:32They have run 194 matches.
07:34De Kock, Adam Akram, Kala Singh have done it.
07:37So, these are the things.
07:39When you get a good pitch, you take advantage of it.
07:42You gain your form.
07:44So, I think this will be with the Indian team.
07:46The performances of Afghanistan in this World Cup
07:49will be shown to you.
07:51So, Afghanistan won a one-sided match with Uganda.
07:55They won with 125 runs.
07:57They surprised New Zealand.
08:00They won with 84 runs.
08:02They won with 7 victories against PNG.
08:05And they had an opposite match against West Indies.
08:08Shahid Bhai, West Indies troubled them.
08:11They stopped their flight.
08:14Absolutely.
08:15They won the toss and batted in that match.
08:18They fielded first.
08:20That proved to be a wrong decision.
08:22And the second disadvantage is that
08:25their middle order hasn't got much batting yet.
08:28In two matches, there were 100-100 partnership openers.
08:31So, their middle will be vulnerable and rusty.
08:34India got a chance against Surya Kumar Yadav, Canada.
08:37He bowled 50 runs.
08:39They batted a little.
08:40They sent Akshar Patel up against Pakistan.
08:43So, their middle order has taken a little strike.
08:46Afghanistan's middle order hasn't taken that much.
08:49Absolutely right.
08:50So, if we quickly ask you three,
08:53who is the favourite of today's match?
08:55Definitely India.
08:56India?
08:57India will be the favourite.
08:58India will be the favourite.
08:59Can Afghanistan do anything?
09:01They should.
09:02It's good that the match is closed.
09:03So that they know that yes, it was by fluke.
09:05I don't think it's upset.
09:06If there is any victory for Afghanistan...
09:08It won't be upset for any team.
09:10What do you say?
09:12You just told us the record.
09:14How many? 13 matches?
09:15Out of 8 matches of T20...
09:18Out of 8?
09:19They won 7 and there was no result for 1.
09:22So, it will be upset.
09:24If it was a Pakistan team, we would say it's not upset.
09:26Because they won from us.
09:27They won from us.
09:28And there are more close matches than us.
09:30Absolutely right.
09:31Let's quickly see the top performers of this World Cup.
09:35Top 5 will be on the screen.
09:37And a complete change has come.
09:39Niklas Puran has come to the top.
09:41200 runs in 5 matches.
09:43And the strike rate is 142.6.
09:46Adrian Goss.
09:48The best player of America.
09:50What a great performance.
09:51No one could have imagined...
09:52Before this World Cup...
09:53That in the top 5 battles...
09:55You will see an American player.
09:57And 182 runs with 147.2 strike rate.
10:01Gurbaz.
10:02Who will play today's match.
10:04167 runs in 4 matches.
10:06And the strike rate is 155.3.
10:08Stoinis has played an amazing innings.
10:12And has given Australia's batting a lot of depth.
10:15In 4 innings, the strike rate is 156.190.
10:19And then...
10:21Zadran.
10:22Who has a strike rate of 152.125.
10:24So, Mr. Basit.
10:25Are the top 5 batters' performances great?
10:29Yes, except for Zadran.
10:32Because his strike rate is 125.
10:35But basically, he is the opener.
10:37He plays in our style.
10:39There will be more changes.
10:41There will be more back and forth.
10:43There will be more runs.
10:45And the bowlers will sweat a lot this time.
10:47For me, we keep watching Nicholas Curran.
10:50He is a season player.
10:51He is a T20 specialist.
10:52For me, it is a matter of joy that Goss...
10:54The way he played.
10:55The way he played 80 runs in the innings yesterday.
10:58That was great.
10:59He dominated.
11:00He hit fast bowling and down the wicket.
11:03It is a matter of bravery.
11:04It is a good sign.
11:05We will continue the discussion.
