T20 WC: Plan Was To Bowl Hard Length, Bowl Maximum Slower Balls, Says UAE’s Siddique
T20 World Cup: Veteran UAE fast bowler Junaid Siddique said his strategy of bowling hard lengths and relying heavily on slower deliveries paid dividends as he claimed a maiden five-wicket haul to help his side defeat Canada by five wickets at the Men’s T20 World Cup on Friday.
Siddique's 5-35 is now the best bowling figures by an associate nations player at the ongoing tournament, as UAE restricted Canada to 150/7 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium before chasing down the target with two balls to spare.
"My plan was to bowl at hard length and maximum slower ball back-to-back. Initially, I didn't want to bowl slow. When I came to bowl into the wicket, I was getting a good slower ball by bowling into the pitch. So, I worked on that," Siddique said, while replying to a query from IANS in the mixed zone held after the match.
