How do you think each of them fared? Who do we need to look past on?

Players who got matches:

Azhar Ali 0/10 - Played 3 innings, failed in each of them when he was the person responsible to ensure Pakistan play through the overs.

Fakhar Zaman 8/10 - Played very well, couple of times he blew cold but that is expected from a player like him. Very satisfied from him.

Ahmed Shahzad 6/10 - Got the last 2 T20s, ended up winning both so we was sort of our lucky charm. Played well in his first T20 and was okay in his second before he got out.

Imam ul Haq 0/10 - A softie. Failed in his first match. Got "injured" in the rest of the matches as the going got tough.

Umar Amin 3/10 - Got 3 innings. 2 failures and 1 very vital 21 off 7 balls. Will give him the 3 points for that 21 as that turned out to be crucial but overall it was a abysmal tour.

Babar Azam 4/10 - Played every game. Horrible ODI series. Got a run a ball 40 in the first T20, but it was his inning in the 2nd T20 for which I will give him the 4 marks.

Haris Sohail 7/10 - Came in for the 3rd ODI and didn't look back since! Batted well in tough situations. Bowled well. Should have converted his 50s into bigger scores but was very good apart from that 1st T20, generally,

Muhammad Hafeez 5/10 - Somewhere in the middle. Got a 60 and an 80 in the ODI series, batted well but choked every time whilst chasing.

Shoaib Malik 2/10 - Was quite disappointed by him, not because I thought he would have succeeded in NZ, but because he did the hard part in a couple of innings by negotiating the fast bowlers, but then he gave it way to the spinners like in that inning of 27.

Sarfraz Ahmed 6/10 - An ODI series to forget, as a batsman, as a keeper and as a captain. However, he came back very well in the T20s in all 3 aspects. Hopefully we will see him at 4/5 permanently now.

Muhammad Nawaz 5/10 - Played an ODI and a T20. Was impressive in the ODI, failed in the T20. So 5 out of 10.

Aamer Yamin 7/10 - Also played 1 ODI and 1 T20. But he performed well in both matches. Especially in that 3rd T20. Hope to see more of him.

Fahim Ashraf 4/10 - Disappointing tour with the bat. Bowled well in 2/3 games out of the 8 he played. Needs to improve if he is to survive in this team.

Shadab Khan 8/10 - One of the positives of this tour. Batted well, bowled well, fielded well. Maybe should have taken more wickets in the ODIs but the pitches were not very supportive.

Hasan Ali 4.5/10 - Think he had a below average tour. Bowled well in 2 games but was generally quite poor.

Muhammad Amir 6/10 - MOTS in the T20s. Bowled brilliantly. Failed to get wickets with the new ball in the ODIs which cost us quite a bit, but he was fairly economical albeit that is not his role.

Rumman Raees 5.5/10 - Played in every match. Had 2 good ODIs and 1 good T20. Not sure if he can survive in this team in the long term, his pace was down by quite a bit and he was quite expensive. Slow pitch specialist.
 
Mostly agree but would give Falhar a slightly lower score - maybe 7/10.

ODI’s take precedence and he failed in 4/5 ODI’s so that would go slightly against him.
 
Would give Umar Amin at least 5/10, most of the other including Babar failed in 5 games in a row before performing. Amin performed in his third.

Haris 7/10--good comeback
Hafeez 6/10--- looked atrocious when he didn't score but 2 solids knocks
Malik 1/10---humiliating
Shadab 7/10---good with bat n ball
Faheem 5/10--- nothing to show for with bat but solid with ball
Ruman 4/10---meh below average nothing special got hammered at times
Amir 5.5/10--- decent but the lack of ability to take wickets did hurt
Hasan 5.5/10--- decent not great but not bad either
nawaz 6/10 just one match can't say anthing
Umar 4/10 one very good knock at the end
Yamin 6/10 solid
Sarfraz 3/10 liked his captaincy but terrible batting until the last 2 t20s
The "experience" failed us in this tour horribly....la*** on such experience.

How did Hafeez only get a 5/10 for his performances. He played all Odis and although he failed in a few he had the highest runs/ average/ strike rate by a Pakistani batsman on tour also took most catches after sarfraz (wk). That definitely deserves more than a 5. He should only be ranked behind Fakhar and Shadab because they played the t20s aswell.
