Rashid and Afridi showed yesterday that spin can be effective here, so he should certainly be in the game
 
Shaky start from Zahid, 2 short and wide ones in a row put away from Fakhar
 
He will take heaps of wickets - first one is Sohail Akhtar
 
Lacks temperament for international cricket. Too emotional and too impatient.
 
A different bowler when he flights it and pitches it up
 
First wicket

Nothing special, just okay bowler.
He need to cut the pace and flight a bit more.

Nice wicket inchAllah more to come from him
 
Gets the crucial wicket of Imam, who was looking good.
 
Best leggy of the tournament but is under constant pressure from his skipper. Leggies take their time to setup a batsmen and in the process they can leak runs. Sarfaraz needs to show more patience.
 
Unlucky to have Sarfraz as his captain. Leggie needs all the encouragement he can get from his skipper. This was the factor which made Qaqir from an ordinary leggie to ATG one.
 
He is not a huge turner of the ball, he bowls a lot of googlies and straighter deliveries. International players will figure him out eventually. Usman Qadir has more variations but is not consistent enough and can bowl 1-2 bad deliveries every over.
 
He's faced the wrath of Sarfaraz quite a bit already in PSL6.

Really needs the skipper to back him.
 
While all bowlers around him were getting smashed, he bowled a very impressive spell of 2/29 in 4 overs, getting the wickets of Hales and the on-fire Stirling
 
A lot of our WT20 campaign depends on how well him and Qadir will bowl. Good to see him bowling well today.

Zahid deceiving the on-fire Stirling:

Figures of 0/53 in 3 overs today against Peshawar. Not his best outing...
 
If there's one thing today proved its that this guy shouldn't be playing international cricket.
 
First time watching this guy bowl.... wow he looked really lacking in skills. Can't believe anyone could ever have considered him to be an international level bowler.
 
Gully Mohalla level bowler.

Rashid Latif needs to apologize for hyping him up on his Youtube channel. He misled the fans about him. People like him put pressue on selectors. It was the same for Tabish Khan.

Selectors need to be brave to withstand any sort of social media pressure.
 
A very average bowler who was selected for Pakistan after only one good season and also bc of pressure from the Karachi lobby.
 
He's only good when the pitch starts turning.Qadir has more variety and better control.

He is a very skillful bowler but definitely lacked in confidence due to extraordinary pressure and burden to the extent of shouting and bullying by senseless mickey captain
 
In the 2023 domestic season, Zahid Mehmood delivered an outstanding performance, and now in PSL 9, he continues to impress with a good showing today he secured 2/25 in 4 overs against Quetta Gladiators. But, considering his age and the playing conditions in the USA and West Indies, I believe he may not be the most effective spin bowling option for Pakistan in the upcoming ICC T20I World Cup 2024.

 
Had we played him in a few JAMODI's it might had forced Shadab to work on his game and actually improve.
 
Zahid Mahmood gets the big man, Azam Khan. He finished with a decent spell of 1/30 against IU.
