T20 WC: SA Batters Will Face Stern Examination Against Bumrah And Chakaravarthy, Says Peterson
T20 World Cup: South Africa's batters face a formidable examination against Jasprit Bumrah and Varun Chakaravarthy when they take on India in a blockbuster Super Eights clash of Men’s T20 World Cup at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday evening, said former all-rounder Robin Peterson.
In three league matches, fast bowling spearhead Bumrah has picked four wickets at an economy rate of six and strike-rate of 13.5. But the Proteas batters' bigger test will come against Chakaravarthy, who claimed three scalps against the Netherlands to maintain his record of taking at least one scalp in each of his last 17 innings – putting him on par with Arshdeep Singh’s streak.
With a bagful of variations and overspin fetching him consistent success, Chakaravarthy has nine wickets in four matches at an economy of 5.2 and strike rate of 8, placing him joint second on the tournament’s wicket-taking charts behind USA pacer Shadley Van Schalkwyk.
