Abhishek has a strike rate of 198 with an average of 35. Nice try to make it seem one random duck defines his career.

Dada how are you feeling today after another duck from Abhishek? Only a few hours after this posts of yours.

Farhan's century fires Pakistan into Super 8s​

Men's T20 World Cup, Group A, Colombo

Pakistan 199-3 (20 overs): Farhan 100* (58); Brassell 2-48

Namibia 97 all out (17.3 overs): Steenkamp 23 (22); Tariq 4-16

Pakistan won by 102 runs


Pakistan booked their place in the Super 8 stage of the T20 World Cup with a dominant victory over Namibia.

Opener Sahibzada Farhan set up the win with a sparkling 58-ball century before the Pakistan bowlers got to work, bowling out the associate nation for just 97.

Victory means Pakistan join India in qualifying from Group A, and eliminates both United States and the Netherlands.

Farhan, 29, has enjoyed a reasonably impressive competition so far - hitting 47 against the Netherlands and 73 against the USA, though he did register a duck against India in Pakistan's last outing.

Here, though, he was back to his best - dominating on the back foot and plundering so many of his runs through the leg side.

He was particularly dismissive of WP Myburgh, swiping the leg-spinner for two towering sixes over cow corner. He also took a liking to Jack Brassell's medium pace, striking 30 off 13 deliveries against him as Pakistan went through the gears.

He was well supported by Shadab Khan, who hit 36 off 22 balls to lift Pakistan to 199-3.

Namibia never got going with the bat, despite Louren Steenkamp's 23.

Their batters struggled against Pakistan's spinners in particular as Usman Tariq once again impressed with 4-16, including a beautiful googly which bamboozled Ruben Trumpelmann.

Rizwan world cup record is actually pretty decent if you compare it to the other Trash

67 vs Aus (SF)
79 vs India
53 vs Canada
79 vs Namibia
57 vs New Zealand (SF)

The only other Pakistani player to ever get a MOTM in a Semi Final or Final in a T20 World Cup was Shahid Afridi

What stopped you from telling us how many balls he faced in each innings?

67 off 52 vs AUS (we lost)

53 off 53 vs USA (we lost)

79 off 50 vs Namibia (was 55 off 44 until 20th over)

57 off 43 vs NZ (reached the target in 20th over with still 7 wickets remaining)

His only good innings out of all the ones you’ve listed is back in 2021 vs India.
