T20 World Cup: After his sensational spell of 3-14 helped India beat Pakistan by six runs in a low-scoring thriller at the T20 World Cup, fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah said he was pleased by the calmness shown by the bowling unit despite the conditions being easier for batting in their successful defence of 119.

Bumrah finished with 3-14 in his four overs, including bowling 15 dot balls as Pakistan were restricted to 113/7. With Pakistan needing 40 runs off just 36 balls, Bumrah came back to castle a well-set Muhammad Rizwan, which set the base for India registering a stunning come-from-behind win.

"The biggest positive for us was the calmness because when we were batting in the morning, there was a lot more help. When we started bowling, the skies cleared up and the ball stopped seaming and there wasn't a lot of lateral movement.
