The spirit shown by the raw Afghan is a good replica of their improvement in the game so far, especially in the associate corridor. With more exposure of the team against quality only helps them more, as they face the final match of the tournament against Windes on Sunday.
Afghan yet to register a win in the super10, but they feel quite happy with the prospect their are performing. In the opening match against Lankans they struggled a bit with the bat and in field, although given a tough fight for the islanders. They should good intent by nullifying their mistakes from Lankans against Proteas, where they threatened to chase 209. While against England they almost went all over England by picking up wickets and at the end couldn't make it in the right place.
Meanwhile Windes qualified to semi's by making it over the line easily early on, the Gayle Strom taken away England out. Later on Windes restricted Lanka's to a par score and chase down with ease with help from Lankan fielders. Although against Proteas they had to really work hard with the ball the spinning and thanks mostly to their depth in the batting to win a close encounter by making in to semi's.
It can be said that Afghan are building version of Windes with the approach they are playing the game in a aggressive mode. Although the dead rubber is much to offer for Afghan in terms of experience and for Windes it about keeping in check of players a head of semifinal.
Apart from India and New Zealand, Afghan is the other team which played matches at different venues. At Nagpur it won't be helpful for their free flow with the bat, but their spinners won't get a perfect venue to turn the ball.
So far at Nagpur there are pretty low scoring games with much assistance to spinners, it won't be any different on Sunday. Meanwhile Afghan hope to give a last and hard fight against Windes, as Windes look for better performance with the bat after the close finish against Proteas.
