India vs Bangladesh Match Today, Ind vs Ban Live: How Pakistan pace line up lost its steam
Pakistan’s pace attack was one of the most hyped things about the tournament. The pace trio of Shaheen-Naseem-Haris made an immediate impact, bundling out Nepal for a low score demolishing India’s top order and performing well in death overs.
In the group stage, out of 20 wickets, Shaheen-Naseem-Rauf took 15 wickets combined, with Shaheen getting six and Rauf getting five and Naseem four.
Pakistan went into the Super Four stage with their pace battery playing a vital role in their progress. In the first clash against Bangladesh, Pakistan once again delivered an all-round show as not only their batters led the side to a seven-wicket win, but Shaheen-Naseem-Rauf combined for eight wickets, with Rauf taking four. Pace-bowling all-rounder Faheem Ashraf also got a wicket.
Till this point, Pakistan’s pace battery had delivered 68.3 overs, taking 24 wickets at an average of 12.95. Their strike rate was 17.1 and the economy rate was 4.54. Rauf was the leading wicket-taker in the tournament with nine, Shaheen taking seven wickets and Naseem getting seven. Ashraf got one wicket.
But everything changed during their match against India in the Super Four stage. After the top order was sent back to the pavilion cheaply in the group stage, Men in Blue came back with a vengeance. Openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill set the tone for the innings with a century partnership. Particularly Gill, who was struggling against express pace in the first match against Pakistan, now had come well-prepared with a game plan to take them down and felt at ease with their pace. KL Rahul and Virat Kohli also slammed centuries to take India to 356/2.
But in the process, Pakistan lost two of its pacers, Rauf and Naseem, to injuries. They were taken to the cleaners in the match. Shaheen got one wicket, but gave away 79 runs in 10 overs. Naseem conceded 53 runs in 9.2 overs and went wicketless. Rauf could bowl only five wicketless overs before injury, in which he gave away 27 runs. Ashraf was also hit for 74 runs in 10 overs.
