Pakistan commander Babar Azam wasn’t pleased with the performance of his side’s batters and in the fate of the match, he praised Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj.
” Weather not in our hands but both bowling and fur.( How Rohit and Shubman attacked Pakistan’s main bowlers) They had a plan for our bowlers. And also KL and Virat followed up and finished veritably well.( Pakistan suckers, disappointed, perhaps in the run chase. noway in the quest.) Jasprit and Siraj sailed veritably well in first ten overs swinging both ways. Yes we lost back to back lattices, could not make hookups.”
Virat Kohli( 122) and K L Rahul( 111) struck unbeaten centuries to steer India to a commanding 356 for two, the platoon’s common loftiest aggregate against Pakistan in ODIs.
Part time incentive Iftikhar Ahmed blurted 52 runs in5.4 overs and was the alternate most precious bowler for Pakistan after Shaheen Shah Afridi(1/79 in 10 overs).
In response, Pakistan were all out for 128 in 32 overs. Kuldeep Yadav was the stand out bowler for India as he ended with a five gate haul.
