Indian bowlers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yuzvendra Chahal were pleased by the outcome from the Bangladesh match and team’s form heading into the World Cup.
“It was tough conditions for both batsmen and bowlers, but we did well in both departments, so it will give a big boost to the team going into the world cup,” Bhuvneshwar said after the win in Cardiff.
“In these two warm-ups (against New Zealand and Bangladesh) I acclimatised myself to know what to do in the tournament and what conditions will be,” Bhuvneshwar, who had figures of 0/19 in five overs on Tuesday, said.
Kumar also expressed his confidence about heading into English conditions, where he has done well in the past.
“World cup is a big platform. Yes, the pressure will be there but I am excited and confident as I have toured here earlier. I know the England conditions,” he said.
On the role of Indian pace bowlers in the World Cup, Bhuvneshwar said, “We all know England conditions help fast bowlers. Our (Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar) role will be crucial. We three share our experience which helps. If it will swing it will give advantage to all. But we will see how conditions turn out to be. If it does, it will be an additional boost for bowlers.”
