Shami, who now holds the distinction of being the first Indian bowler to achieve two five-wicket hauls in Men’s ODI World Cups, expressed his belief that one should not harbor any sense of guilt for not being a part of the playing eleven when the team is performing admirably.
New Zealand showed more intent on keeping the scoreboard ticking with Kyle Jamieson (21) and Tim Southee (30) throwing their bats around for useful runs.
Shami (18-8-31-2) found the ideal fuller 'English length' right away while Ishant Sharma (20-9-27-2), coming for his second spell, was also penetrative.
It was a lesson to any young paces to watch these two bowlers bowl those lethal yorkers in the Super Overs. Indian Fielding coach R Sridhar was all excited with the performances of Bumrah and Shami.
