Watson wants India to play three seamers

Anis Sajan

Watson believes India will play the same type of cricket as they played against Afghanistan and Scotland will find it difficult to handle the fire power of Indian batters who came in to their own in the last game.

He had special mention of Safyaan Sharief, the Scottish quick who has the best economy in the power play of 3.50 and needs to be seen how India handle him specially Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul when they open the batting. Mark Watt the traditional left arm spinner from Scotland had said in the pre match press conference that he has some tricks against Virat Kohli and that would be a good battle if Virat Kohli faces him as the captain would like to prove him wrong.

When Mr. Anis Sajan asked Watson, should India bring in Varun Chakravarthy, he said India should play three quicks as their death bowling is still not sorted and leading up to the semifinals they should have a settled three-man seam attack.

In a Zoom interaction with Mr. Anis Sajan, a.k.a Mr. Cricket UAE, 'He was happy with the way Australia trounced Bangladesh but felt West Indies would be a tough opposition against them in their last game as they have a history of rivalry, especially in the T20 format and all the West Indies players will stand and spoil the Aussie party.' Both Australia and South Africa are on 6 points and have one game to go before the second spot in group is decided as to who will make it to the semifinals.
