Giant killer! The sound is quite heavy. Teams that are behind in strength are given such a title if they defeat the opponent who is ahead in edge and weight.

Giant killer! The sound is quite heavy. Teams that are behind in strength are given such a title if they defeat the opponent who is ahead in edge and weight. But Jonathan Trott objected to the term 'giant killer' with the Afghanistan cricket team. This coach of the Afghanistan team thinks that if you talk to the teams that they have lost, it will be understood that those teams do not consider Afghanistan as a giant killer at all. Rather think as equals. Afghanistan v South Africa in UAE, 2024
The three-match ODI series between Afghanistan and South Africa will begin in Sharjah tomorrow. Earlier, Trott said this to the Dubai media Gulf News. Afghanistan's English coach and former cricketer Trott said, "In my opinion, the term giant killers is a little unfair. If you talk to the teams we've lost, you'll realize they don't think of us as giant killers; They think of themselves as equals or as a group, who have started to achieve success.' Afghanistan vs South Africa, 1st ODI
Sharjah Cricket Stadium has already set the record for hosting the highest number of ODI matches. Tomorrow's South Africa-Afghanistan match marks a milestone for this stadium. This will be the 250th ODI match at this stadium.
Afghanistan, ranked ninth in the ICC ODI rankings, will take on third-ranked South Africa. Afghanistan won four matches in ODI World Cup last year. Although they did not reach the semi-finals, they lost to England, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and the Netherlands. Among these, the first three teams are established powers in the cricketing world. After defeating the Netherlands, Afghanistan's winning streak came to an end with a loss to South Africa. Then the two teams will meet for the first time tomorrow.
Afghanistan has also dominated the T20 edition of the World Cup. Trott's team reached the semi-finals for the first time in the T20 World Cup held last June after defeating Australia, New Zealand and Bangladesh. The confidence of Afghanistan should naturally increase in these successes.
Perhaps capitalizing on that confidence, Trott said, 'Giant Killers probably sounds like we're not favorites in any match. It's not true. We have earned the right to be favorites in some matches by playing well. So if South Africa looks down on us, there is no problem
