Babar Azam is expected to be that guy but who else can challenge Babar for this?
 
Babar will be NO.1. followed by Haris Sohail (if he plays) Fakhar won't do well in Australia as he struggles to get onto the back foot. It is very difficult to play the short ball off the front foot in Australia, unless your name is Ricky Ponting.

Haris might not be the best against the short ball, but I reckon he will find a way. He will dominate the spinners and will attack the fuller deliveries. I hope Khushdil Shah scores some runs as well.
 
Babar is the most popular pick as expected.

A couple have voted for Fakhar, but i think he may continue to struggle with Cummins and Starc back in the T20 squad for Aus.

How difficult it is to change one's name?
I think Fakhar can do it. He will be the highest scorer from Pakistan. Reason is that pitches are going to be flat with even bounce and he thrives on them.

The high bounce is the concern. He struggles to get on the back foot and it is extremely difficult to play the short ball off the front foot in Austrlalia. He needs to work on judjing the length better so he can go straight on the back foot when it’s short.

Right now Fakhar goes forward the back to the short ball. We have seen him get in really bad positions in South Africa and England due to this, resulting in him being hit on the head or top edging.
 
I have to say Fakhar, he is the only one I see playing aggressively. Ops my bad the title said most Runs not the most successful batsman

Sydney and Canberra are both slow. Even The Oval is a quicker pitch.
 
I think Haris Sohail could surprise us all. Provided he gets full opportunities.
 
Would love to see Zaman gain back his form and come out on top.

But that would mean no one else is scoring! We need top 4 to come our blazing.

Did u see what I meant!

Got away with it today.
We need starts by top 3, can't really rely on Rizwan to score fast, or Asif/ iftikhar to play a long innings
 
Babar with the most runs at 109
2nd is smith with 80
3rd is ifti chacha at 62

In Australia 170 is needed 7 times out of 10. Our batting is just not good enough .

Fakhar is out of form .
Babar is consistent and quality
Harris- Solid but not spectacular
Rizwan - not a t20 player
Asif - needs to be dropped
Ifti- shown good signs so far

The biggest mistake is considering Fakhar is out of form.....that assessment is simply wrong.

He has been found out and is being consistently cramped by opposition. Every passing game he seems incapable of playing in the V. Bowlers know where to bowl at Fakhar.

Fakhar is blessed with power, fitness and natural timing. Needs to work on his stroke play and shot selection. He's a senior in the team now.

fakhar is not out of form... better teams have found him out. fact is he is not that good. he had his purple patch, ever since then he as been free falling.

his cricket IQ is below avg, he cant play bowls that are tight to the body, nor can he play off the legs.

That is poor. Iftikhar was really good. Babar does what he does consistently, the rest looked like tailenders or non-cricketers thrown in to bat.
