T20 WC: UAE Bowling Coach Feels Defeat To South Africa Was A Good Learning Experience
The United Arab Emirates: The United Arab Emirates (UAE) bowling coach Yasir Arafat said his six-wicket defeat to South Africa will serve as a valuable education and good learning experience for a side unaccustomed to facing elite pace attacks and under overcast skies. At the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday, the UAE never had momentum after a brisk power-play and made 122/6 on a tacky pitch, which South Africa chased down in 13.2 overs.
"South Africa's bowling attack, as you all know, is heavily reliant on their fast bowlers, and that's what they did. They went with four fast bowlers. For our boys, it was a new experience. They have never played against such fast bowling in such a big event.
"This is a learning experience for our batsmen, because as a collective, we didn't give as good a performance as we should have. But in every match, someone took responsibility. If 2-3 boys take responsibility in every match in the T20 format, then a good score can be made. So, these are the learnings we tell our players. As a collective, if we have 3-4 boys in the batting unit, we tell them to do the same in bowling as well,” said Arafat in the post-match press conference.
