9. Bumrah oversteps, deprived India of an early wicket
No-balls have been India’s biggest enemy in the last two ICC events. Playing in the semifinals of the World T20 2016, Ashwin had got Lendl Simmons early but the replays suggested that he had overstepped the line. Simmons then scripted an amazing win for the West Indies and India were knocked out. It was Bumrah’s turn to be unwillingly associated with something similar.
Bowling his second over, Bumrah had Fakhar caught behind but the umpire asked the batsman to wait. The replays showed Bumrah overstepping a fair bit and Fakhar got another chance to bat. He ended up scoring 111 runs more after this event and was one of the reasons why Pakistan amassed 338. It was a sensational innings by a man who was playing in his only 4th ODI. He was lucky, yes, but you have to make the best use of the chance offered, which Fakhar did exceptionally well.
