After three defeats, Mumbai Indians bowler Shane Bond expects a turnaround. But the five-time champions must stick to their plans, beginning with Saturday’s IPL game against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Shane Bond expects Mumbai Indians bowlers to improve soon. But the five-time champions must stick to their plans, beginning with Saturday’s IPL game against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Despite being winless in their first three games. Michigan’s bowling coach said he isn’t concerned about his team’s lackluster performance with the ball. “It’s really a simple fix. If we can stick to our plans and bowl in the areas where we want to bowl when the pressure is on, I believe we’ll see a turnaround “Bond stated this in a note distributed by MI on the eve of their match against RCB.
“As I previously stated, I believe we have demonstrated that when we have carried out our plans in the manner that we desired, we have been extremely successful. We saw it against Andre Russell in the previous game “He stated.

“We made Venkatesh Iyer work really hard for a fifty and bowled really well to him.” We’ve only had one player come out in each game and hit 30-plus off 10-11 balls, which has cost us the game.
MI bowlers had a mixed bag of performances in the first three games, according to Bond.
“It’s been a real mixed bag from us as a bowling unit.” Take a look at the previous game; the first ten overs were fantastic. We had a couple of overs that went wrong.
“It’s become a bit of a pattern for us in that we’ve done some really good stuff, we’ve taken out a number of the big players exactly how we expected – but when the game’s been close, we’ve gone for some 20-plus overs. And when you go for overs of 20 or more, you end up losing games “explained the ex-New Zealand racer.
Bond stated once more that it was all about execution.
“So my message is to go back to what we’re trying to do against a specific type of player.” If we carry out those plans, we will make it as difficult as we possibly can.
“The challenge for us is to do that when the pressure is on at the end of the game, which we haven’t done yet,” he concluded.
