At the Wankhede Stadium, Shami had a formidable second spell, claiming all three wickets. “It felt alright right from the first ball of the second spell. The ball was coming off nicely from the release. We talked about the seam position or off the deck, but the focus was to keep the ball in good areas because they were playing on the backfoot,” he mentioned. “My mindset was to keep the ball a little up with a slip in place, as I had done in the first spell…”
Coming into the sport, groups thought it might be a high-scoring affair. But Australia may solely handle 188, whereas India overcame early jitters and rode on a 108-run unbeaten partnership between Okay.L. Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja to romp dwelling.
“If you see overall, then there have been high-scoring matches as well here. The pitches here have good bounce, the ball comes nicely on the bat too. But if you would have noticed, whenever someone bowls in the right areas, (the course) of matches changes if someone is bowling at good lengths,” Shami mentioned.
“It is all about when you’ll be able to shift the momentum – early or late. That is what we pulled off in the present day, as soon as we received the momentum on our aspect after the twentieth over, we capitalised on it and we have been in a position to cease them at 188.
