Trott admits Afghanistan were unaware of NRR permutations

"We have never communicated those calculations. All we were communicated was we needed to win in 37.1 overs."

Afghanistan head coach Jonathan Trott has confirmed that his team was unaware of the calculations that meant they were in with a chance of qualifying for the Asia Cup Super Four even after they had failed to reach their target of 292 in the stipulated 37.1 overs against Sri Lanka.

At the end of the 37th over, Afghanistan were 289 for 8, which meant they needed three runs off one ball to win while bettering Sri Lanka's net run rate (NRR). Going for a big hit off Dhananjaya de Silva, Mujeeb Ur Rahman was caught on the long-on boundary, following which the non-striker Rashid Khan sank to his knees, presumably in the belief - later confirmed by Trott - that Afghanistan had lost their chance.

They were still not out of it, though. They could've finished above Sri Lanka on net run rate if they got to 293 after 37.2 overs, 294 after 37.3, 295 after 37.5, 296 after 38 overs, or 297 after 38.1. They could have achieved these targets if their No. 11 Fazalhaq Farooqi had hit a four off the second ball of the 38th over; a six off the third, fourth or fifth ball; or taken a single to allow Rashid - who was batting on 27 off 16 balls - to try and finish the game himself.
