“Losing back-to-back wickets makes it difficult. Three run-outs also didn’t help. If we could have managed 250, we could have probably had a better chance. Credit goes to the Afghanistan cricket team. They were hungrier than us to win the last game. Rashid [Khan] bowled very well today although we played their spinners well in the first two games. [Rahmanullah] Gurbaz batted well. I wanted the team to finish [the series] on a high and get the maximum points,” said Tamim as reported by ESPNcricinfo.

“You don’t know about the future. We are playing next against South Africa and Ireland in their conditions. We are playing against England too, so there’s nothing guaranteed. You have to make sure you get maximum points from every opportunity,” he added.

The captain went on to say that his goal for the 2023 World Cup is not to win but to finish fourth.

“If we win one or two [matches], we will probably qualify for the World Cup. [But] it is not my target. My target as a captain is to finish in the top four. If you want to claim that you have come to win the 2023 World Cup, it wouldn’t make sense if you qualify as the seventh or eighth team,” said the skipper.
