India vs Pakistan, ICC Cricket World Cup: Jasprit Bumrah and Babar Azam's face-off another key battle
Jasprit Bumrah will get the ball to move and can trouble Babar Azam on Sunday.
Jasprit Bumrah has had a mercurial rise in the cricketing world ever since his debut, and the impact that he has had in the Cricket World Cup 2019 has been impressive as well. With five wickets in two games, Bumrah has been a force to reckon with in the powerplay and the death overs, and his battle with Babar Azam on Sunday will be one to watch out for.
Bumrah has been accurate with his line, length and has generated massive bounce, pace and swing to leave the rivals bamboozled. With a heavy grey cloud cover expected over Manchester, Bumrah will be looking forward to take the field. He will likely bowl short and sharp spells, and can be the key player.
The one batter against whom he will be employed is Babar Azam. A consistent performer, Azam holds the middle order responsibilities. The batting order from Pakistan has not fared well against pace, and hence, the onus will be high on Azam, especially against Bumrah.
The Pakistani hates anything that is bowled away from his body and ones that swing. With plenty of moisture on the surface, Bumrah can get the ball to move bothways, and hence, he can be a real threat.
