Watch: Jasprit Bumrah ripped out Shadab Khan with an inch-perfect bail-trimmer in the India-Pakistan World Cup 2023 clash today (October 14).
When Bumrah came to bowl in the 35th over, he bowled a heavy ball vertically and landed it on the off-stump. All-rounder Shadab Khan, who joined the line for the first time, could not answer the snort. He played on the wrong line and after throwing on the surface, the throw went straight. The ball grazed his off-stump and he got his 2 (5) without incident.
India chose to bat first in a tense match held in Ahmedabad and defeated Pakistan by 191 runs. Pakistan reached 150-2 in 30 overs with Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan well placed at the crease. A powerful pass from pacer Mohammed Siraj helped Babar score his first fifty against India. Babar’s dismissal triggered a collapse, with Pakistan quickly falling from 155 wins to 3 losses to 191 wins and 191 losses.
The organizers staged a collective bowling performance with five bowlers taking two wickets each. Bumrah was the first choice and took 2 wins and 19 losses in 7 overs. He is currently the top wicket-taker in the 2023 edition of the quadrennial show, taking eight wickets in three innings at an average of 11.62 and an economy of 3.44. Then Mitchell Santner and Matt Henry have as many wickets as Bumrah but their bowling average is worse than Bumrah.
