World Cup 2019: Three things India need to do to win against Pakistan

#2 Play three fast bowlers

Mohammed Shami's addition can prove the key to beating Pakistan

The clamor for India going with three pacers under these wet conditions has increased and speaking on Saturday in the build-up to the match, Indian captain Virat Kohli spoke on how the side was looking at the proposition as well. These are conditions conducive for fast bowling and with Pakistan’s plight against the fast bowlers coming to the fore this World Cup, India need to bring in Mohammed Shami into the unit.

What the trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Shami and Bhuvneshwar Kumar offers the Indian side is one of the most versatile pace attacks in the world, a pick of bowlers who have drilled into them the know-how of how to extract the most from any wicket.

They, in particular, will love plying their goods in the typical English setting, getting the ball to ominously deviate away and into the batsman and with the way these three get movement both in the air and after the ball pitches onto the surface, Pakistan’s batting unit could be rendered obsolete by this alluring pace attack.
