Jasprit Bumrah continued with his dominance at bowling during the second warm-up game of India against Bangladesh. Bumrah gave a perfect start to Indian bowling attack after picking two opening wickets in two consecutive balls. While chasing a 360-run target, Bangladesh had a decent start and were 49 for no wickets. Just then, the attack by Bumrah changed the moment of the match.
Bumrah removed opener Soumya Sarkar with an edge but what followed was something not to miss. The next wicket of Shakib Al Hasan was the thrilling moment of the game. Bumrah bowled a yorker on the very next ball and Hasan was bowled on a duck. The much experienced Bangladeshi player Hasan could not judge the ball at all. It was one of the perfect example of yorker delivery. Have a look at the video below.
While both spinner Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal were the limelight of the match with 3 wickets each, Bumrah’s dismissal of Hasan can be called as the most exciting moment of the India’s bowling. In his spell of five overs, Bumrah gave away just 25 runs and clinched two wickets.
Although opener Liton Das and wicket-keeper Mushfiqur Rahim made good contributions while batting with 73 and 90 respectively, Bangladesh remained far away from victory and could only manage 264 runs on board. Earlier, India scored 359/7 with the help of two centuries by KL Rahul (108) and MS Dhoni (113). Virat Kohli also played a decent innings of 47 runs, before losing his wicket to Mohammad Saifuddin. It was a great comeback for India after losing their first warm-up game against New Zealand by 6 wickets. India will face South Africa on June 5 in their first World Cup 2019 tie.
