Afghanistan coach Jonathan Trott said they could have given New Zealand a chance in Wednesday's World Cup game if they had not dropped several catches.


The 16th match of the ICC Men's ODI World Cup witnessed an intense battle between New Zealand and Afghanistan at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday. In this high-stakes encounter, New Zealand emerged victorious, securing a comfortable 149-run win and maintaining their unbeaten record in the tournament.

Head coach Jonathan Trott, in his post-match analysis, identified fielding errors as the main reason for Afghanistan's defeat. He stressed that the outcome of the game could have been completely different if Afghanistan had managed to save crucial catches.

Trott pointed to several key moments in the game where dropped catches proved costly. In the second over, Rahmat Shah's missed catch at slips gave Will Young a lifeline when the New Zealand batsman was yet to score. This error proved significant as Young scored 54 runs off 64 balls before being dismissed by Azmatullah Omarzai.

The result leaves Afghanistan ninth in the table, just days after a shock upset over England raised hopes of climbing the table.

“It's not the pressure, I think it's also been happening a little too much lately since I've been in charge,” Trott told reporters.

“If you look at the statistics, unfortunately the team is at the bottom when it comes to catching. So that needs to be improved and we've worked really hard on that in training, we just need to implement it in the games now.”

New Zealand's Will Young was dropped in the second round and the opener hit a fifty before Rachin Ravindra (32) was bowled out for nil. But Afghanistan appeared to be in control as the 2019 finalists struggled 110-4.

Tom Latham rescued his team with a knock of 68 but was dropped twice before reaching his 50 as the skipper along with Glenn Phillips (71) put together a 144-run stand that helped them reach 288-6 achieve.

“We bowled Ravindra to zero, we bowled Young to zero. “So that gives the opposition a little bit of momentum,” Trott added.

“Had we taken those and the wicket of (opener Devon) Conway, we would have been in a much better position if we had kept those catches. But it wasn't meant to be and unfortunately we have to go home with regrets about this."
