ABU DHABI: A disappointed Rashid Khan on Thursday lamented Afghanistan’s exit from the Asia Cup after a six-wicket loss to Sri Lanka in their last group stage fixture here, saying they had “great preparation” for the tournament.
Afghanistan, touted to be one of the sides to beat in the eight-team tournament, missed out on a Super 4s berth from Group B as Sri Lanka and Bangladesh advanced to the next stage where they will meet India and Pakistan.
“We had a great chance to chase 150 odd in the last game. But that’s the nature of T20 cricket. We had great preparation for this. We had worked hard and trained hard,” Rashid told the broadcaster after the match.
