Afghanistan focus on batting execution after India opener

Afghanistan head coach Richard Pybus identified batting execution as an area for improvement after the opening T20 international against India. His post-match assessment focused on mistakes that prevented Afghanistan from setting the target he believed was possible.

Pybus said the team would review its fundamentals and work towards greater precision. The discussion comes during Afghanistan’s three-match September series in New Delhi. ESPNcricinfo’s report includes his assessment of the innings and the challenges against India’s bowling attack.
