Men’s ODI WC: India Have Looked The Best Team By A Country Mile, Bowling Attack Has Stood Out, Says Atherton

ODI World Cup: As India became the first team to book their semi-final spot for the 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup after thrashing Sri Lanka by 302 runs, former England captain Michael Atherton believes the hosts’ are the best team in the competition by a country mile and that their in-form bowling attack has stood out.

"They've looked the best team by a country mile. They've got the best bowling attack. That's really the thing that has stood out for me. They're a very good all-round side, obviously, but to watch them tonight against Sri Lanka here in Mumbai, and then the way they bowled against England in Lucknow, those seamers are making early in-roads and then making life much easier for the spinners,” said Atherton on the latest episode of The ICC Review podcast.

At the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday, Bumrah, Shami and Siraj made the new ball talk in such a great manner that Sri Lanka were bowled out for just 55 in 19.4 overs. Bumrah set the tone for a sensational fast-bowling performance to be remembered for ages by trapping Pathum Nissanka lbw on the very first ball of the second innings and had figures of 1-8 in five overs.
