It is difficult to overcome a language barrier, but I am used to this culture, I am also a Pathan. Also, these guys have been given the full freedom and they aren\u2019t afraid to approach us. The ball is stopping a bit, coming a bit slow- whoever can hit the back of a length deliveries will be good. At the same time, the batters should look to play straight,\u201d said Umar Gul.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud835\udddc\ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddf6\ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddf4\ud835\ude00 \ud835\uddd5\ud835\uddff\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddf8!<\/p>\n<p>A terrific bowling display helps us reduce <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OfficialSLC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@OfficialSLC<\/a> to 105 runs. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fazalfarooqi10?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@fazalfarooqi10<\/a> picked 3, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Mujeeb_R88?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Mujeeb_R88<\/a> & the Skipper <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MohammadNabi007?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@MohammadNabi007<\/a> picked 2 wickets each whereas <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/imnaveenulhaq?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@imnaveenulhaq<\/a> took 1<\/p>\n<p>Time for the chase now!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AfghanAtalan?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AfghanAtalan<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AsiaCup2022?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AsiaCup2022<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sz3iQVJWM5\">pic.twitter.com\/sz3iQVJWM5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Afghanistan Cricket Board (@ACBofficials) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ACBofficials\/status\/1563555349981892611?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 27, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The team carried out the plan as it was planned, according to Afghanistan bowling coach Umar Gul, and it has\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":27246,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[768,1585,427,285],"class_list":["post-4227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cricket","tag-afghanistan","tag-asia-cup","tag-bangladesh","tag-t20"],"reading_time":"1 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4227"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4227\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
