Suspense Crime Sach Ka Dam
The Pakistan team has shown a very poor performance in T20 Internationals in the year 2024, in which they have to play 2 more matches in this format this year. So far, the Pakistan team has played 26 T20 International matches this year, out of which they have won only 9 while they have lost 15. The biggest reason for this shameful performance of the Pakistani team is their 2 most experienced batsmen Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, who are not able to lead the team to victory despite scoring runs. The Pakistan team is currently on a tour of South Africa, in which the biggest example of this was seen in the first T20 match of the series. While Babar Azam returned to the pavilion without opening the account, Mohammad Rizwan, despite an innings of 74 runs, could not save the team from an 11-run defeat.
Slow batting in the power play is becoming the biggest reason for defeat
In the T20 format, at present, most teams include such batsmen in their top order who have the ability to change the pace and direction of the match within just 10 balls. On the other hand, if we look at the Pakistani team, then it is completely opposite because the opening pair of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan bat so slowly in the first 6 overs, which puts the Pakistani team far behind in the match. If we look at the performance of the batsmen of the top 10 ranked teams of ICC in the powerplay in T20 International from the year 2023, then both the top-5 Babar and Mohammad Rizwan have the lowest strike rate in terms of scoring at least 250 runs. Both the players have scored runs in the first 6 overs in T20 International from the year 2023 at a strike rate of less than 124.
Such has been the record of both the players
If we look at the record of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan during the powerplay in T20 Internationals since 2023, Babar has scored 333 runs in 26 matches, but during this time his strike rate has been seen to be only 120.2. On the other hand, if we talk about Mohammad Rizwan, the current captain of the Pakistani limited overs team has played 22 T20 International matches since 2023 and in this his average has been 42.78 in the powerplay and he has also scored 385 runs, but the strike rate has been seen to be only 123.8.
