Legendary Pakistan fast bowler Waqar Younis has tried to create psychological pressure on Abhishek Sharma as he said that everyone will be under pressure in the final, and Pakistani bowlers can get him out early on with some \u201cclarity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAbhishek can take the game away in the first few overs, but everyone has a bad day and his could be on Sunday. There will be pressure on him in a final, and if Pakistani bowlers bowl with clarity and plan, they can get him out early,\u201d Waqar Younis told telecomasia.net.<\/p>\n

Former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir feels inswinging deliveries could create a problem for Abhishek, who has fallen victim to a similar strategy by Mitchell Starc.<\/p>\n

\u201cA bowler should not allow him [Abhishek] to open his arms. Bowling a swinging delivery inside the stumps, four to five metres in length, can force an edge. I have seen Mitchell Starc dismiss him in the IPL with an outswinger. A perfect slower ball could also work, as he plays with hard hands \u2014 it might get him out caught in the air in the circle,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Former pacer Mohammad Asif asked the Pakistan bowlers to keep things simple and just aim for consistency in pitching the ball, which he feels would be enough to do the job. \u201cBowl three deliveries to him at the same spot. He\u2019ll play the first two and get out on the third. Trying to bowl different deliveries too early won\u2019t succeed. And you can\u2019t start with a bouncer \u2014 like Shaheen did in the second match,\u201d said Asif.<\/p>\n
