Such poor performance of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, they are ruining Pakistan in T20 International.
Pakistan team has so far seen very poor performance in T20 International in the year 2024, in which they still have to play 2 more matches in this format this year. So far, Pakistan team has played 26 T20 International matches this year, out of which they have won only 9 while they have faced defeat in 15. The biggest reason for this shameful performance of the Pakistani team is their two most experienced batsmen, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, who are not able to lead the team to victory despite scoring runs. Pakistan team is currently on the 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 could not save the team from an 11-run defeat despite an innings of 74 runs.
Slow batting in power play is becoming the biggest reason for defeat
At present, in the T20 format, most of the teams include such batsmen in their top order who have the ability to change both the pace and direction of the match within just 10 balls. On the other hand, if we look at the Pakistani team, the complete opposite is seen because the opening pair of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have such slow batting in the first 6 overs, which leaves the Pakistani team far behind in the match. If we look at the performance of the batsmen of ICC’s top 10 ranking teams in powerplay in T20 International from the year 2023, then top-5 Babar and Mohammad Rizwan both have the lowest strike rate in terms of scoring at least 250 runs. . Both players have scored runs in the first 6 overs in T20 Internationals since 2023 at a strike rate of less than 124.
This 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 International since the year 2023, Babar has scored 333 runs in 26 matches, but during this period, his strike rate has been seen only at 120.2. 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 has also scored 385 runs, but the strike rate is only. 123.8 has been seen.
