How Arshdeep, Pandya, and Bumrah may imitate Australia's slow-cutters strategy against Bangladesh
The batting teams' decline in intent level during the middle overs has so far shown to be their greatest downfall in this World Cup, as fresh batsmen have found it difficult to keep up with the pace due to wicket losses.
