 India skipper MS Dhoni admitted that bowling had been a major source of worry for his team, especially on foreign soil © Getty Images Perth: India captain MS Dhoni admitted on Saturday that his bowling attack, so often over-shadowed by the team's legion of batting superstars, will be key if they are to successfully defend their World Cup title. India hardly broke sweat at Perth's WACA ground as they cruised past the part-timers of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) by nine wickets in their ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 Pool B match, easily reaching the 103-run winning target they had been set. ICC Cricket World Cup 2015: POINTS TABLE But unlike their two opening wins at the tournament which yielded totals of 300 and over against Pakistan and South Africa, Saturday gave India's bowlers the chance to make decisive contributions against a UAE side who won the toss and chose to bat.
