World Cup 2023: Past experience helped Bumrah read the wicket in Ahmedabad

Star pacer Jasprit Bumrah traced the origin of his fine 2 for 19 spell that played a big part in India bowling out Pakistan for 191 in their World Cup match on Saturday to his ability to read the pitch at a venue where he played a lot cricket from the junior days. After bundling out Pakistan for a below-par score, India chased down the target in a little over 30 overs to celebrate a seven-wicket win. Bumrah was later adjudged as the player of the match. "I have played a lot of junior cricket on this ground. Since it was a flat wicket, I tried to implement that experience of mine here," Bumrah told Hardik Pandya in a video posted by BCCI. "Before getting hit for four boundaries, it's vital to realise about the wicket right after one boundary. That's what I was trying to communicate," he added. As fellow pacer Mohammed Siraj reminded Bumrah about his fiery spell against Afghanistan in Delhi, Bumrah attributed the success at that venue to the IPL. "There I tried to use my IPL experi

World Cup 2023: Pressure will be on India, says Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali

Pakistan pacer Hasan Ali said that the pressure will be on India in the much-anticipated World Cup clash between the two traditional rivals in front of a packed house at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Saturday. India enter the match with an overwhelming 7-0 record in their favour in the ODI World Cups. Though Pakistan enjoy a positive win/loss ratio over India, they are yet to defeat them in a 50-over World Cup match. Asked if that streak would have an impact in the game on Saturday, Ali said: "Records are meant to be broken and we too are looking forward to breaking this jinx of not having beaten India in a 50-over World Cup." "It is India who will be under pressure as it is their home ground with fans turning up to support them. There is always pressure in a big game like this but we will try to gain momentum early in the proceedings and win the contest," he said in a video posted by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). The match will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium, the

World Cup 2023: Will play 3 spinners if needed, says Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma is not averse to playing three spinners against Pakistan on a huge Motera ground with big square boundaries. But, on the eve of the blockbuster World Cup face-off, the India captain was in two minds over whether to continue with Shardul Thakur or bring in his senior off-spinner R Ashwin. Asked if the track warrants playing three spinners, Rohit said: "I don't know, honestly." "If there is a change or two we need to make, we will be ready with that. And the guys have been informed very well in advance about these kind of changes. So, I don't think it's going to be any issues with the players. "But if the requirement is there for us to play three spinners, we will play three spinners," the skipper kept things pretty open-ended. I know which boxes to tick as player and captain ============================== During the last World Cup, he scored five hundreds and was the vice-captain of the side.
