Afghanistan is ready to face Sri Lanka in the first match of the Asia Cup
The Afghanistan team is ready to challenge Sri Lanka in the first match of the tournament.
The 2022 Asia Cup is the perfect tournament for Afghanistan to showcase their talent. The squad has been searching for a crown in the world tournaments for quite some time now and thus the Asian tournament is a good haven for them.
The Afghanistan team lacked experience in the past. However, with many of their players playing in several T20 leagues around the world, they now have the experience to go the distance. Afghanistan, which will challenge Sri Lanka in the first match of the tournament, belongs to the first group. Three days later (August 30) they are scheduled to take on the team in Bangladesh.
The Afghanistan team is still acting like a rookie. But, there are a few players who can change the complexion of the match at any given time. Bowling has always been their strength. Spinner Rashid Khan’s bowling will make it difficult for any opposition player to get into his usual range.
However, there may be times when Rashid doesn’t always deliver what the team needs. Najibullah Zadran is likely to be their next trump card. Middle-order batting is likely to be a problem as skipper Mohammad Nabi is not among the best at the moment. If the team believes strongly in their bowling and the pitches are bowler-friendly, Afghanistan can make a big splash in Asia Cup 2022.
Team Squad : Mohammad Nabi (c), Najibullah Zadran, Afsar Zazai, Azmatullah Omarzai, Farid Ahmad Malik, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Hashmatullah Shahidi, Hazratullah Zazai, Ibrahim Zadran, Karim Janat, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Najibullah Zadran, Naveen ul Haq, Noor Ahmad , Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rashid Khan, Samiullah Shinwari.

ඇෆ්ගනිස්තාන කණ්ඩායමට අතීතයේ අත්දැකීම් නොතිබුණි. කෙසේ වෙතත්, ඔවුන්ගේ බොහෝ ක්රීඩකයින් ලොව පුරා T20 ලීග කිහිපයක් ක්රීඩා කිරීමත් සමඟ, ඔවුන්ට දැන් දුරක් යාමට අවශ්ය අත්දැකීම් තිබේ. තරගාවලියේ පළමු තරගයේදීම ශ්රී ලංකාවට අභියෝගයක් එල්ල කරන ඇෆ්ගනිස්තානය පළමු කාණ්ඩයට අයත් වේ. දින තුනකට පසුව (අගෝස්තු 30) ඔවුන් බංග්ලාදේශයට කණ්ඩායම හා තරග වැදීමට නියමිතය.

කෙසේ වෙතත්, රෂීඩ්ට සෑම විටම කණ්ඩායමට අවශ්ය දේ ලබා දීමට නොහැකි අවස්ථා උදාවිය හැක.

ஆசிய கோப்பையின் முதல் போட்டியில் இலங்கையை எதிர்கொள்ள ஆப்கானிஸ்தான் தயாராக உள்ளது
போட்டியின் முதல் போட்டியில் இலங்கைக்கு சவால் விட ஆப்கானிஸ்தான் அணி தயாராக உள்ளது.
2022 ஆசிய கோப்பை ஆப்கானிஸ்தானுக்கு அவர்களின் திறமையை வெளிப்படுத்த சரியான போட்டியாகும். இந்த அணி உலகப் போட்டிகளில் ஒரு கிரீடத்தை சில காலமாக தேடி வருகிறது, இதனால் ஆசிய போட்டி அவர்களுக்கு நல்ல களமாக உள்ளது.
ஆப்கானிஸ்தான் அணி கடந்த காலத்தில் அனுபவம் குறைந்த அணியாக இருந்தது. இருப்பினும், அவர்களது வீரர்கள் பலர் உலகெங்கிலும் உள்ள பல டி20 லீக்களில் விளையாடுவதால், அவர்கள் இப்போது அனுபவம் பெற்றுள்ளனர். தொடரில் முதல் போட்டியில் இலங்கைக்கு சவாலாக இருக்கும் ஆப்கானிஸ்தான் முதல் குழுவில் இடம்பெற்றுள்ளது. மூன்று நாட்களுக்குப் பிறகு (ஆகஸ்ட் 30) அவர்கள் வங்கதேசத்தில் அணியுடன் மோத உள்ளனர்.
ஆப்கானிஸ்தான் அணி இன்னும் புதுமுகம் போல் செயல்படுகிறது. ஆனால், எந்த நேரத்திலும் போட்டியின் போக்கை மாற்றக்கூடிய ஒரு சில வீரர்கள் உள்ளனர். பந்துவீச்சுதான் அவர்களின் பலம். சுழற்பந்து வீச்சாளர் ரஷித் கானின் பந்துவீச்சு எந்த ஒரு எதிரணி வீரரும் தனது வழக்கமான வரம்பிற்குள் செல்வதை கடினமாக்கும்.
இருப்பினும், அணிக்குத் தேவையானதை ரஷித் வழங்காத நேரங்கள் இருந்தது. நஜிபுல்லா சத்ரான் அவர்களின் அடுத்த துருப்புச் சீட்டாக இருக்க வாய்ப்புண்டு. கேப்டன் முகமது நபி தற்போது போர்ம்இல் இல்லாததால் மிடில் ஆர்டர் பேட்டிங்கில் சிக்கல் ஏற்பட வாய்ப்புள்ளது. அணி தங்கள் பந்துவீச்சை உறுதியாக நம்பினால் மற்றும் ஆடுகளங்கள் பந்துவீச்சாளர்களுக்கு ஏற்றதாக இருந்தால், 2022 ஆசிய கோப்பையில் ஆப்கானிஸ்தான் பெரிய மாற்றத்தை ஏற்படுத்த முடியும்.
