Dinesh Karthik has said that the Pakistan’s pace attack are better with than India. Pakistan pace trio of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah created history against India when they bagged all the ten wickets in Kandy on Saturday.
“Shaheen, Haris Rauf and Naseem can bowl 90+ consistently and all three are very different in nature,” said on Cricbuzz.
“Shaheen Shah obviously the left-armer, has an angle to it and brings the ball back in, Naseem Shah swings the ball both ways, Haris is arguably one of the best bowlers right now at the back end of an inning because of his skid and the nasty bouncer that he’s got,” he added.
Karthik suggested being a batter he would prefer to face Indian bowling attack comprising Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Mohammad Shami on flat wickets, rather than the Pakistan trio.
“For me they are a far more potent attack on flat wickets,” he said.
“If there is something in the pitch then both attacks at all times become very equal but if I had to play an attack I have a feeling, I have a better chance of probably playing Jasprit, Bumrah, Siraj and Shami only because the bounce they’ll get will be slightly lesser than what these three other bowlers can do from Pakistan,” he further added.
India will take on Nepal on Monday, while Pakistan are most likely to lock horns against Bangladesh in Lahore in their first Super Four match on Sunday.
