Jasprit Bumrah Fails To Deliver In Semi-Final Clash Against New Zealand

Jasprit Bumrah had an outstanding performance in the league stage of the 2023 World Cup. However, Bumrah delivered his least impressive display in the crucial semifinal match. He faced criticism for not meeting the high standards in the high-pressure clash in Mumbai.

The 29-year-old took just one wicket in the high-scoring encounter against New Zealand. The ace pacer was a bit expensive with the ball, conceding 64 runs in his 10-over spell. He faced challenges during the opening powerplay, giving away boundaries and wides.

The Mumbai Indians bowler picked up 18 wickets in 10 matches in the tournament at an impressive average of 18.33 and an outstanding economy rate of 3.98. He secured at least one wicket in every match of the event except for the group stage match against South Africa.
