Bumrah struck in his very first over dismissing Quinton de Kock. De Kock tried to swing for the fences but lost his poles with the India pacer focusing on the stumps.
Ryan Rickleton looked set following a stunning maximum off Arshdeep Singh, but a masterful set up by Bumrah sent him packing. Bumrah foxed the left-hander with a slower delivery that dipped on the left-hander, forcing him to chip the delivery straight to mid-wicket.
This is Bumrah's fourth T20 World Cup campaign after 2016, 2021 and 2024. He played a pivotal role in India's success in the last edition.
