Siraj vs LHB in ODIs in 2022: 17.1 avg, 5.01 ER
Shami vs LHB in ODIs in 2023: 14 avg, 4.94 ER
Imagine the team's riches to think about changing from a 17.1 avg bowler to a 14 avg bowler
Oh, and there's Bumrah at the other end 👍
Just a random thought, given Shami & Bumrah are India's best pacers this WC, should they open the bolwing in the final? Esp if they face Aus with two monster LHBs. Shami's round the wkt to LHB needed one feels.

In this WC, Shami has been clearly better, that's why I am itching to start with Shami. I can just see Shami knocking out Warner's stumps.
@srini_r_twit
Tend to agree, just one concern - Siraj's control hasn't quite been there, so giving him even less assistance by bringing him first change might not maximize resources
Shami with new ball is def so enticing tho
