He has managed to bag only one fifty in eight ODI matches played at this venue but his current form makes him the best batter going into the summit clash on Sunday.

The experienced Indian pacer took seven wickets against New Zealand in the semifinal match to shatter all-time bowling records. Shami’s sensational World Cup has helped him get 23 wickets in just 6 innings, one more than Australia’s Adam Zampa and also made him India’s all-time leading wicket-taker in tournament history. Shami has played considerable cricket in Ahmedabad with the IPL franchise Gujarat Titans and can utilize that experience to make an impact in the final.
