Inzamam-ul-Haq claims India did some ‘serious kaam’ on ball in T20 World Cup game vs Australia | Cricket News

Former Pakan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq has claimed that India did some “serious work” on the ball during the T20 World Cup match against Australia in the Super 8 stage, which saw the Men in Blue seal their spot in the semi-finals of the World T20.
India defeated Australia 24 runs in Monday’s T20 World Cup Super Eight game, which saw them qualify for the semi-final. Arshdeep Singh took three wickets on the night, claiming the wickets of David Warner, Matthew Wade and Tim David (the latter two wickets in the 18th over of the innings).
“You can’t ignore the fact that when Arshdeep Singh was bowling the 15th over, the ball was reverse-swinging. Isn’t it too early for the new ball to start reversing? The ball was ready to reverse the 12th-13th over. Umpires should keep their eyes open. We also know a bit about reverse swing. If Arshdeep Singh is able to reverse swing the ball, some serious work was done on the ball,” Inzamam said on a special show called ‘World Cup Hungama’ on Pakan’s 24 News channel where he was joined for former Pakan cricketer Saleem Malik.
To this, Malik added that the officials always have their eyes shut when it comes to certain teams including India.
Inzamam further explained why he was surprised Arshdeep reversing the ball.
“The thing with reverse swing is that if Bumrah does it — his action is such — I can understand. The ball needs to be set up in a way that it reverses. I can understand that maybe the ball was hit a lot, the pitch was such. The ball could have been impacted after being hit around the stands. But whatever that was happening, could have been carefully monitored,” Inzamam pointed out.
Pakan cricket team failed to qualify for the Super 8 stage after USA took the second spot in Group A which was topped India.
