Defeat for Pakistan
Pakistan middleweight Shahnawaz Dahani will not be available for his team’s Asian Super Cup match against India on Sunday, September 4, due to suspected hip strain. He injured himself while bowling during a game against Hong Kong in Sharjah on Friday, where he took a wicket.
Jadeja out of T20 World Cup?
“Jadeja is clearly out of the Asian Cup. He is being cared for by the medical team. He will see doctors and specialists. The World Cup is a fair ride, so we don’t want to draw any conclusions and rule him out or not. That’s part of the sport – people get hurt. It’s part of our job to manage how it goes.” India head coach Dravid said in a press conference yesterday.
What happened when India and Pakistan met earlier in this tournament?
Five of Pakistan’s 10 mistakes conceded in the innings came from short balls. The lack of movement off the field and in the air means that India’s fast pitchers often hit the ball short or short at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
Hardik Pandya, India’s all-rounder, championed this campaign by selecting all three retail outlets with short delivery times. Bowling on day 15, Hardik first eliminated Mohammad Rizwan, who tried to toss a short ball, but ended up hitting a deep third. Similarly, Khushdil Shah tried to cut above, but was caught in the deep spot. Before that, Hardik had Iftikhar Ahmed caught behind with a well-directed saver. He finished with a metric of three for 25.
Hardik is quick to recall memories of his third ODI game against England at Old Trafford last month, when his persistence with the short ball saw him overtake England by a score of four to 24 and take India to the series. 2-1 with a 5 goal win.
Meanwhile, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, India’s top scorer tonight, also got 3 of his 4 hits with short balls and moderate lengths. Even one of Arshdeep Singh’s two brackets delivered a short and well-long ball.
Bhuvneshwar explains the bowling plan in an interaction with Star Sports during the halftime break. “When we looked at the racquet, we thought it would wobble but no spin. There was bounce, but we knew what balls we had to hit. When you hit the short ball, some people missed. and some come late,” he said.
This is the first time India has played with all 10 players at speed in a T20I round.
