Jasprit Bumrahs effort touched by genius confined archrivals Pakistan to a defeat here on Sunday but India skipper Rohit Sharma wanted his lethal weapon to perform at the same level for the entire duration of the T20 World CupBumrah was magnificent in Indias sixrun victory over Pakistan in which he had figures of 314 in four overs which included an astounding 15 dot balls while defending a paltry total of 119He is going from strength to strength Bumrah We all know what he can do Not going to talk too much about him We want him to be in that mindset throughout the World Cup He is a genius we all know that Rohit couldnt stop praising one of Indias greatest fast bowlersRohit said India had the belief that they would win the match because the pitch was not that conducive for batting With a bowling lineup like that you feel confident to do the job Halfway through the stage when they were batting we got everyone together and said that if it can happen to us it can happen to themThe skipper however did admit that they should have batted better after being 89 for 3 at one stage We didnt bat well enough Halfway through our innings we were in a good position We didnt put enough partnership there and fell short with the bat Rohit said about losing 7 wickets for 28 runsWe spoke about every run matter on a pitch like that There was enough on the pitch It was a good wicket to be honest compared to the last game Little contribution from everyone can make a huge differenceBumrah who has now won backtoback man of the match awards felt that pitch was slightly easier for batting in the second half as sun came out But he said the entire bowling unit was very disciplined in its effortIt feels really good We felt we were a little under and the wicket got a little better after the sun came out We were really disciplined so it feels good Since it was a twopaced wicket the idea was to hit the seam and get some lateral movement offered BumrahTried to hit the seam as much as I could tried to be as clear as I could with my execution and it all came out well so I felt happy he said Both Rohit and Bumrah acknowledged the vociferous support that they received at the Nassau Cricket County GroundFelt like we were playing in India really happy with the support and that gives us energy on the field We focus on the now Weve played two games and played really well You stick to your processes and look to play wellDot balls cost us the matchPakistan skipper Babar Azam felt that the 59 dot balls conceded during their chase became the turning point We bowled well In the batting we lost backtoback wickets and consumed too many dot balls Again we werent up to the mark in the first six he saidAsked about the strategy Babar said it was about playing normal cricket Tactics were simple to play normally Just strike rotation and the odd boundary But in that period we had too many dot balls Cant expect much from tailendersBabar had a contrarian view on the surface unlike many who felt the ball wasnt coming onto the bat Pitch looked decent The ball was coming on nicely It was a little bit slow and some balls had extra bouncePakistan will have to win against Canada and Ireland by big margins and hope that USA dont beat one among Ireland or India to enter the Super Eight Have to win the last two matches Will sit and discuss our mistakes but looking forward to the last two matchesThis story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed agencies Midday accepts no responsibility or liability for its dependability trustworthiness reliability and data of the text Midday managementmiddaycom reserves the sole right to alter delete or remove without notice the content in its absolute discretion for any reason whatsoever
