India continued from where they had left against Afghanistan, except this time the bowlers too joined the party as the ‘hosts’ unleashed fury on Scotland at the Dubai Sports City Stadium on Friday evening.
Against Afghanistan, the batters had taken the initiative. Against Scotland, the bowlers wreaked havoc. Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami shared the leading spoils with three wickets each. Jasprit Bumrah snapped up two and Ravi Ashwin took one as India won yet another one-sided game by eight wickets.
This is the kind of fury that was expected from India coming into the World Cup, one that got completely overshadowed by the brilliance of Pakistan and the consistency of New Zealand.
It has been a matter of great debate over the last 72 hours if it will indeed matter should India make it to the knockouts. Given the caliber of this Indian team and the noise it makes globally, better was expected and rightly so.
Nonetheless, they live and continue to breathe in this World Cup and next in line to face their wrath are Namibia. However, let us not forget that none of this will matter should Afghanistan fail to beat New Zealand. The two matches, incidentally, are scheduled on the same day.
