#5 Jasprit Bumrah's magical death overs spell

Australia v India - Game 1
Bumrah is growing his reputation as a death overs specialist day by day

When Shoaib Malik and Sarfaraz Ahmed were set on the crease, it looked like we were going to witness a 280ish run chase from India.

But that was never going to happen as Bumrah had some other plans. He executed his yorkers to perfection and prevented any easy runs.

He picked the prized scalp of Shoaib Malik and dashed all the Pakistani hopes of a 250+ score into the ground. Bumrah was consistent with his pace, line and length and that really hurt Pakistan.

Pakistan has only got themselves to blame for such a poor show and it is expected that they will bounce back in style in their next game against Bangladesh which would set up the round three of India and Pakistan.
