While world cricket has barely moved on from the bizarre remark, Arthur has now sent a 'World Cup final' warning to the Indian team
Pakistan head coach Mickey Arthur made headlines right after the team's brutal seven-wicket loss at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday with a controversial statement on no Pakistani music being played at the venue throughout the proceedings of the game which made him feel "like a BCCI event rather than ICC". And while world cricket has barely moved on from the bizarre remark, Arthur has now sent a 'World Cup final' warning to the Indian team
In front of a packed Ahmedabad stadium, India hammered Pakistan to claim a record eighth World Cup win against the arch-rivals, the joint-most ever by a side against a single opposition. Despite captain Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan rebuilding the innings from 73 for 2 to 155/2 with their 82-run stand, Pakistan incurred a horror collapse, inflicted by Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah, as they were bundled out for just 191 over the next 73 balls.
Rohit Sharma later notched up his second straight fifty-plus score while Shreyas Iyer scored his maiden in a World Cup match as India chased down the target with 117 balls to spare.
