Rashid Khan said this
Rashid Khan (Rashid Khan) during the post match presentation, when asked about the condition of the match, first talked about the batting of his team. He told that the way his team finished the match was quite amazing. Mohammad Nabi had five sixes. But after this he told that Abu Dhabi’s pitch was very hard. This was not a typical pitch of Abu Dhabi. That is, there was a lot of change in the pitch.
He then said that it was possible to pursue a target of 170–180. In the last match, we had a great chance to chase the target around 150. But this is the nature of T20 cricket. We made good preparations for this. We had worked hard and trained hard. We reached the semi -finals of the T20 World Cup. We thought about reaching the next round here at least.
