Jasprit Bumrah reveals Team India’s plan to defend 119 target against Pakistan

The overcast conditions which India faced during batting against Pakistan in the World T20 Series 2024 match were eased as the sun came out when Pakistan batted in the second innings of the game. The rival fast bowlers received enough help from the surface as they managed to check the score to 119 all out with one over to spare.

The rain burst gradually disappeared in the second innings of the game and the Pak batters were batting under the warm sunlight. 

Nonetheless, the conditions didn’t impact the Men in Blue bowlers. They defied all odds to keep the opponent batters silent throughout the game. Jasprit Bumrah was the star of the show, picking three wickets in his four-over tenure.

He revealed about Team India’s bowling strategy. “The batting was easy in the second innings in comparison to the first. The conditions were easy for the batters. We decided to make proper use of the pitch by bowling in the right areas. It was important to keep our line and lengths right and leave the pitch to do the rest. 

“I am happy that we all stuck to what was discussed. All the bowlers bowled well, and we managed to beat Pakistan. It was satisfying to contribute to the winning cause,” Jasprit Bumrah expressed.
