The team of Australia was given a tough competition by the team of Afghanistan in the T20 World Cup and there was a possibility of reversal once. Ultimately, the Afghanistan team had to face defeat by 4 runs. After this close victory of Australia, there was a big statement from captain Matthew Wade.
Matthew Wade said that we gave Stoinis the last over, it is very nervous to have an all-rounder to bowl the last over. I have seen them do this 3-4 times. But at no point did I feel completely sure. We’ll stay here tonight and watch tomorrow’s game, we’ll expect an upset. We have put ourselves in this position from the beginning, we have been slow in this tournament and hopefully it will not hurt us.
