Sorry for being obvious but Babar Azam.
He'll score 400+ runs and Imam 350+.

 

[saeed5646]

Babar azam.

 

[m.awais]

I will go for Imam... Once he gets set, he normally scores big..

 

[Afhan Ali]

Imam

Imam

This is a poll so also add your choice in poll

 

[Mehndi155]

If haris starts 350 babar 400 imam 350 and fakhar either 250 or 450

 

[Mueez]

Babar followed by Fakhar and Imam.

 

[Rana]

Looks like it will be Imam

The impactful runs will be scored by Babar, Harris, Hafeez and maybe even Malik at times

 

[Afhan Ali]

This is a poll so also add your choice in the poll

I am using the mobile version, it doesn't show poll

 

[Green Patriot]

Its between Babar and Imam IMO.
I will go for Babar.

 

[MenInG]

Imam will be that one guy - what strike rate he does it is another question

 

[hadi123]

Imam surely. Unlike Azam, who scores pretty 30s and 40s then gets out, Imam is very strong at converting his starts into big scores.

 

[The Viper]

Imam is the most likely. Babar has looked good in the past two games but the question if he can keep getting good scores.

 

[KyoOne]

Imam would struggle in most games, these teams are not Zimbabwe, and his bouncer weakness will be exploited by most teams. I'm sure he'd be the lowest averaging batsman among ours (and the one with slowest SR as well).

I'll put money on Fakhar. He was also the highest scorer in Champions Trophy 2017

 

[MenInG]

Babar still leading the poll

 

[Sunny_majoka]

Babar i am expecting 500+ runs from him

I have seen him pull some shot against wood and archer .he was quite good till that one bouncer which he got injured

 

[SarfiBabarHaris]

Bobby!

He has improved his game against spin aswell now.

Time for him to announce himself at the mega stage.

 

[Mueez]

Bobby!

He has improved his game against spin aswell now.

Time for him to announce himself at the mega stage.

InshaAllah!

Bobby is a world-class batsman and as he said in the episode of WeHaveWeWill he has some “bigger” plans for the WC

We are waiting for his surprise!

 

[zain7077]

In Sha Allah

 

[The_Odd_One]

Imam for these reasons:

1. Being an opener gives him immense advantage
2. He's fairly consistent
3. His conversion rate from 50 to 100 is excellent
4. He has the ability to hit big hundreds (125+)
5. He seems to be in excellent form recently

 

[Hasan123]

Imam or Babar. Undecided on which one.

 

[KyoOne]

I have seen him pull some shot against wood and archer .he was quite good till that one bouncer which he got injured

He's lost his wicket to bouncer twice in the England series, and has not been most comfortable facing the ball. These days with analysts etc around, teams know well each batsman's weakness going into each game.

Though I hope he does improve his game to the bouncer, for Pakistans sake

 

[The Viper]

A real close one between Imam and Babar. Babar has looked in good touch so i could now see him edging Imam.

 

[giri26]

I can close my eyes and pick Babar. He is the most consistent and will score the most runs.

 

[Sin Nombre]

Babar will score 500 runs in 9 matches at a S/R of 90.

Imam will score 400 runs in 9 matches at a S/R of 80.

Fakhar will score 300 runs in 9 matches at a S/R of 120.

 

[MenInG]

Could be a very low scoring contest this one! But Babar seems to be the crowd favourite.

 

[yadunoe]

i come back from my hiatus to rant about that complete lack of skills from the bowlers and choke from battsmen

 

[TracerBullet1]

Babar Azam

 

[MenInG]

Need Babar Azam to justify his best Pak batsman label.

 

[MenInG]

Hafeez and Babar could be those people!

 

[MenInG]

Hafeez and Babar could be those people!

Imam and Fakhar could have some freakish innings so dont discount them

 

[MenInG]

Imam should be it - given Babar's current issues

 

[Captain caveman]

M. Hafeez

 

[Syed1]

These batsmen are only interested in stats padding the least they can do is atleast notch up tons.

 

[Suleiman]

These batsmen are only interested in stats padding the least they can do is atleast notch up tons.

Hafeez is the only guy rn batting for the team.

He got a tad unlucky today. 9/10 times that would’ve been a six.

But 1 Hafeez is not enough.

 

[MenInG]

Hafeez in the lead at the moment!

 

[MenInG]

Imam should be top contender now

 

[Rayyman]

Imam should be top contender now

Contender?

 

[Abdullah719]

 

[saeed5646]

Babar azam.

It was obvious one but imam was out scoring before worldcup happy that babar have prove me right

 

[hadi123]

Imam should be top contender now

What? This was our last game?
