SOUTHAMPTON, England - India’s Mohammed Shami made a fairytale World Cup debut with a final over hat-trick but it was team mate Jasprit Bumrah who produced an extraordinary display of virtuoso bowling in Saturday’s narrow escape against Afghanistan.
Shami became only the second Indian, after Chetan Sharma in 1987, to claim a hat-trick in the World Cup but Bumrah walked away with the man-of-the-match award for what his relatively modest figures of 2-39 do not reveal. The 25-yer-old duly turned the match on its head, conjuring up a maiden double-wicket over, accounting for both batsmen in a span of three deliveries.Mohammad Nabi was approaching his fifty and Afghanistan needed 21 runs from 12 balls when Bumrah returned to burnish his death-overs reputation.
“The communication was to finish him off at 49th over so that Shami has enough runs to defend in the last over and yeah the plan worked really well today.”
