The match between India and Pakistan is being played in Dubai in the Champions Trophy. Mohammed Shami started bowling for Team India, but after completing 3 overs in Spell, he left the ground.
Shami is seen struggling with bad fitness. He bowled five wide balls in the first over. As a result, Shami went out of the ground after the fifth over of the innings and Washington Sundar was fielded on her.
11 overs thrown
Mohammed Shami started Indian bowling. Shami was seen struggling with poor fitness that she had to throw 11 balls to complete the first over. This includes 5 wide balls. India needed to pressurize Pakistani batsmen in the initial overs, but Babar Azam and Imam ul Haq had no problem in playing Shami’s balls. The good thing is that Shami did not bowl a wide ball in the next two overs.
Hardik Pandya was handed over a new ball.
Only 6 overs were thrown from the new ball and captain Rohit Sharma was forced to hand over the new ball to Hardik Pandya. Hardik conceded 5 runs in the first over, but in the second over, he did something that made the Indian fans happy. Babar Azam caught wicketkeeper KL Rahul off Hardik in the 9th over of the innings. On the one hand, he gave the first blow to Pakistan and on the other hand Mohammed Shami also returned to the ground in the same over.
If you look at Mohammed Shami’s fitness, he can get an ankle injury in the 2023 ODI World Cup. After this, he had to stay away from the ground for 14 months. But the pictures revealed during the India-Pakistan match show that Shami is not fully fit yet.
