Mohammad Rizwan
Speaking of match-winning players, there is no doubt about Rizwan’s name. As he is the superstar of the Pakistan cricket team. He is performing exceptionally well for the team, batting at the top of the order to provide a solid foundation, also possessing the ability to accelerate in the last six overs.
Talking about his current form, Pakistan recently played against T20 Ireland where they secured a 2-1 lead. In this series, Rizwan once again stood out, even when other batters were failing. Except for the first match where he got run out with just 1 run to his name, in the other 2 matches, he scored 130 runs with an average of 65.Although his strike rate is indeed an issue, there is no question that he will play a major role in the upcoming World Cup.
Azam Khan
Azam Khan is another player who can play a crucial role for Pakistan in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Playing the role of a finisher known for his big hitting, he is surely a threat to many teams.
Looking at his T20 stats, in the 163 T20 games he has played overall, he has scored 3231 runs in total with a strike rate of 148.55. He can also keep wickets if required. Looking at all these attributes, it’s fact that he is surely a big-ticket player.
Shaheen Afridi
In the past three years, it is fair to say that one bowler who has been strongly holding Pakistan’s bowling line is undeniably Shaheen Afridi. Pakistan, known for having top-notch bowlers, has been struggling in recent years, but Afridi has been successfully doing his job.
Especially in the T20 format, if we just talk about his recent performances against Ireland, he performed wonders with the white ball. In all three matches, he took seven wickets and single-handedly provided benefits to the team against the Irish side. Looking at the scenario and his form, he can surely give a tough time to the batters.
