Who will be Pakistan's top run-getter in the 2-match Test series vs Sri Lanka?

MenInG · Dec 10, 2019

Home turf so Pakistan batsmen in theory should be a bit more comfortable!

Who do you think will score the most? Looking at what happened in Australia, Babar Azam seems to be the best candidate for this accolade but Fawad Alam - could he comeback with a bang?

Babar Azam

A hundred in the first match and a double century in the second

Babar Azam to top, but Fawad will make a statement as well

Let's hope he actually plays.

Something tell me Azhar will click in this series. Will really accumulate runs. Just hoping we get to bat first in both the matches! Will be fun watching Yasir in 4th innings in Pakistan!

Abdullah · Dec 10, 2019

It won't be Babar Azam if he doesn't bat 4

Ab Fan · Dec 10, 2019

Should be Babar Azam. Time for him to take that test average over 40.

He has been impressive in his recent away tour to South Africa, Australia and one odd test he played in England. Time to maximize his run scoring ability now that he is at home.

Depends upon the pitches and conditions. If they are conducive to batting, taking into account the injuries suffered by Sri Lanka, I think Azhar will be right in his element and may end up scoring a big hundred.

If the conditions are testing then Babar would probably score the most. I hope I am wrong but I don't see Babar dominating this series by scoring 2 big hundreds, I think he'll manage to average 50-60 with one hundred.

It's difficult to comment on Fawad since he is making a comeback after 10 years but the guy puts a price on his wicket more than anyone else. If he doesn't get exposed to the new ball early on then he may score a couple of daddy hundreds.

The Viper · Dec 10, 2019

Babar.

Fawad would have been in the mix, but he is not a certainty to start.

TurkishCricketFan · Dec 10, 2019

Azhar Ali. And then he will continue to fail in all overseas tours for the next 5 years.

Ahmed4472 · Dec 10, 2019

Muhammad Babar Azam IA

WhenSultansBowled · Dec 10, 2019

I expect at least 1 daddy 100 from Babar.

Anything less should be a failure.

Arsal_AK · Dec 11, 2019

Babar (should bat at 4) followed by Rizwan (should bat at 6).

Mean&Green · Dec 11, 2019

The ones who don’t usually make runs Azhar Ali Shan masood

shariqnoor · Dec 11, 2019

Asad Shafiq

MenInG · Dec 15, 2019

So Abid Ali's thrown his name in the hat as well!

Fahdi · Dec 16, 2019

It's between Babar and Abid at the moment unless someone else plays a huge innings of 200+. Looking at Babar's recent consistency he should get at least 100 runs in the test. Abid looked good but an opener can always fall early in a test, it's a tough job. Babar would be my bet.

Shazzam · Dec 16, 2019

Fawad Alam

Unfortunately chances of him playing seem a little remote - but he could play and score hundreds in both innings!

Hopefully he plays. He has earned it.

Ronaldo7 · Dec 17, 2019

Looking at how easily Babar scored a hundred in the first test, if Pak bat first then I am seeing Babar score a double hundred.

AdamM97 · Dec 17, 2019

1. Babar
2. Rizwan
3. ??

MenInG · Dec 20, 2019

Babar, Abid Ali looking good for top run-getter slots - but dont rule out Asad Shafiq.

Abdullah719 · Dec 22, 2019

Abid Ali 321
Babar Azam 262
Azhar Ali 154
Shan Masood 150

The proud 4!

Lol we didn't even have an instance where all the top 3 made hundreds in the same innings before this, great record!
