MP 36.66 @ 91.85 vs HS 43.63 @ 81.70

Our team will never progress with players who can’t up their tempo.

Fakhar Zaman has over achieved. In almost every game where he’s scored big, he’s probably nicked one to the slips and been dropped on a low score.

Imad Wasim is a good lower order batsman, played well in England in 2016.

Apart from these 2, Pakistan has no batsman averaging 35+ with a SR of 90+, and thus we’ll always struggle against teams like England and India.
