T20 World Cup: Madan Lal Credits Bumrah, Pandya For Narrow Win Over Pak, Says Batters Need To Improve

T20 World Cup: The 1983 World Cup winner, Madan Lal has lavished praise on the Indian bowlers especially Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya for scripting a six-run victory over arch-rivals Pakistan in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in New York and said the batters need to pull up their socks in upcoming matches. Madan Lal termed it a "good win" for India as Pakistan was only chasing 120 for victory and gave credit to the bowling unit for making the victory possible.

Asked to bat first on a challenging drop-in pitch, India were bundled out for 119, reaching the score mainly due to a fighting 31-ball 42 by Rishabh Pant. However, India fought back brilliantly to restrict Pakistan to 113/7 in 20 overs with Bumrah claiming 3-14 and Pandya taking 2-24. Pakistan were 80/4 at one stage and only needed 40 runs to win the match with six wickets in hand but the Indian bowling unit tied them into knots as they fell short by six runs.

"All credit goes to the bowlers. I will have to praise them for the way they bowled as a unit, especially Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya. Pandya's four overs proved very crucial. The spinners too bowl well. To win a match while defending a target of 120 is a big achievement," Madan Lal told IANS on Monday.
