Mohammed Shami, the pacer who has redefined himself in white-ball cricket, was at his best today as his figures today read 10-2-44-2.

The two wickets that he took today was him clean-bowling the batsmen. What is more interesting is that among his last 12 ODI scalps, eight of them have been bowled or LBW.

His last 12 dismissals:

Such has been the nagging accuracy of pacer that most of his bowls end up hitting the stumps, which found every batsmen wanting.

Shami is a very integral part of team India’s World Cup plans going ahead, as he has filled in the spot for India’s third seamer and could well play ahead of Bhuvneshwar Kumar on the basis of his current form. He would be an asset with his swing and accuracy in English conditions.
