England off-spinner Moeen Ali feels that India's top-class wrist spinners will give them an advantage in this World Cup if the weather remains dry. "The wrist spinners have a big advantage over finger spinners as they have a lot of variety. They can bowl the googly, the top-spinner or the flipper, changing the angle of deliveries. In that contest, to have two wrist spinners, and that too one a right-hander and the other a chinaman, is surely a big advantage India have going into the World Cup," Moeen said.
"We can see that most teams have at least one wrist spinner and he will be the key player for that team. South African captain Faf du Plessis surprised the world by opening the bowing with Tahir Imran and he struck immediately. They also have Tabraiz Shamsi, who could bowl in tandem with Imran in some games.
