Bengaluru, Jan 16: Afghanistan coach Jonathan Trott said his bowlers will have to put pressure on Indian batters in the middle-overs for them to be competitive against the home side in the third and final T20I here on Wednesday.
Afghanistan are looking to score a consolation win after India won Mohali and Indore matches to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the rubber.India had scaled down targets with consummate ease in the previous two matches.
“I will be looking at getting closer to a good 40 overs from us tomorrow. Being able to put some pressure on the Indian side in the middle overs with the ball would be nice.“It’s something that we want to get better at if we want to compete at the World Cup (in June). So, plenty to play for at such a historic venue,” said Trott in his pre-match press meet on Tuesday. (PTI)
