In the ODI World Cup 2023 match against India on Saturday, October 14 at the enormous Narendra Modi Stadium, Pakistan was humiliated with a seven-wicket loss. India has now defeated Babar Azam’s team twice in the past two months.
Jasprit Bumrah received high accolades from one of the greatest bowlers of all time, Wasim Akram, for his outstanding performance against Pakistan. The Gujarat bowler was named Player of the Match after compiling stats of 2/19 in seven overs.
“Jasprit Bumrah is one of the top bowlers in the world and a smart bowler. He was hit for a couple of fours while he wasn’t getting much swing at first, but he later stopped the flow of runs. Everything was concluding inside the stumps when Rizwan was dismissed by a slow delivery. The delivery that struck Shadab Khan would have struck out any batter, according to Akram, who was speaking to A Sports.
Haris Rauf demeanor is questioned by Wasim Akram.
Wasim criticized Haris Rauf for his lack of performance in the ODI World Cup loss by seven wickets in Ahmedabad. Pakistan‘s poor defense of a paltry 192-run goal saw Rauf put through the ringer. In his six overs, the right-arm pacer gave up 43 runs while failing to claim a wicket. Wasim compared Rauf to Bumrah and claimed that he had never seen him pick wickets and swing the ball like the renowned Indian pacer.
“There is a bowler’s attitude. I’m talking about Haris Rauf, who has been Pakistan’s primary bowler, and I have nothing against him. He probably won’t pick up wickets until hitters are pursuing him. Like Bumrah did today, I’ve never seen him swing the ball and pick off wickets. He has speed, but he needs to lengthen up for one-day cricket, Akram continued.
In their upcoming match against Australia on Friday, October 20, Pakistan will try to recover in Bengaluru’s famedly high-scoring M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
