India will face New Zealand at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai for the 1st Semi Final. Indian speedster Mohammed Shami, gearing for the big match, seems to break the shackle of the draught of breakthroughs in an ICC knockout match. It is necessary for him to bring back his form from the Sri Lanka match where he bowled a breathtaking spell against Srilankans.
Mohammed Shami has so far in this ODI World Cup taken sixteen wickets in five games at an impressive “economy rate” of 4.78, having bowled only 32.0 overs in five games.
Meanwhile, in this post, we will take a look at Mohammed Shami’s stats at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai across all formats.
In Mumbai, during the last match against Sri Lanka, Shami picked up a ‘FIFER’. However, he went wicketless against the Netherlands batters just bowling six overs with an economy of 6.8.
Wankhede provides a kind of surface where pacers have their say over spinners. This can be a support for the express speedster.
However, Shami’s knockout performance doesn’t look so promising. Spending 68 runs without any wickets in the 2015 World Cup Semi-Final and spending 39 runs with the same approach by bowling a three-over spell in the 2022 T20 World Cup, he might face another challenge against the Kiwis here.
Indian camp is hopeful of his impactful spell in this big semi-final. Whoever he shows his true colour, team India looks forward to winning a match.
