Who would have been Pakistan's batsmen in a hypothetical World Cup 2019 super over?

[hitthestump]

Bit late for this thread but i'm curious to know what people's opinions are on this matter. Let's say Pak make the semi's against India and the match goes to a super over. Pakistan are unchanged from their last few group games.

I'd go with Hafeez and Haris.

 

[WC-Passion]

They probably would've sent in Fakhar and Imad/Haris. Similar to how NZ sent out Guptill and Neesham.

 

[mon858]

Imad and Hafeez, 1 down Haris

 

[Boi]

Hafeez would never come out to bat in such a pressure situation.

 

[Abdulm123]

Lol @ people saying hafeez, Imad and Fakhar and Haris 1 down

 

[Finisher]

Wahab

 

[zarar]

Imad and Wahab then maybe Hassan Ali. The best big hitters for us throughout the World Cup, Which goes to show how poor Fakhar was throughout the tournament that an attacking opening batsman on merit should be behind those 3 who are primarily bowlers in a super over scenario.

 

[salman24]

Fakhar, Hafeez and Imad

 

[sweep_shot]

Wahab, Haris, Imad.

 

[sshakir411]

Babar, Fakhar, Imad (his last 2 innings would put him ahead of Professor).

 

[ARK Rafay]

Fakhar, Imad and Haris

 

[Saj]

Fakhar definitely.

Then any 2 of Imad, Haris, Wahab.

 

[Madplayer]

Pakistan doesnt even have a power hitter and a super over would mean defeat even before playing a ball.

Asif ali and Fakhar are the only half decent options.

 

[Mueez]

Imad and Wahab if Pakistan was in England’s position.

Getting to bat another time after chasing.

 

[Usman]

Fakhar and Imad. Number 3 and be Wahab.

 

[sindhiboy]

imam ul haq ))))

 

[hadi123]

That's a good question. I think the bowler should be Amir

Batsmen should be Fakhar and Imad.

Wahab as number 3.

 

[irfan]

on the form they showed in the tournament:

bowler: Shaheen

batsmen: haris & imad, wahab

 

[saabir]

No idea baring Imad all are nudgers. Fakhar was in the worst form of his life. Harris need some time and Hafeez as well. Wahab don't have that quality to face the best bowler of opposition. In bowling it's simple Mohd Amir who is a very clever operator despite his limitation in pace and swing. So Imad+Fakhar+Hafeez . I remember in one the game against Aus Pak have then Razzak and u Akmal.

 

[Saj]

This thread actually reveals just how few big-hitters Pakistan has at its disposal at the moment.

 

[CricketDon]

Fakhar
Imad
Haris

 

[hitthestump]

Fakhar was in terrible form and Imad struggles with anything that isn't a full length.

We were probably better off sending Babar out there and giving Amir 10 runs to defend.

 

[gazza619]

I would have sent Fakhar and Imad. Babar as no. 3

Shaheen for the over.

 

[QalandarFan]

1. Imam: Gotta see of the new ball threat for the first 2/3 deliveries before you go bonkers lad!
2. Sarfraz: Captains gotta step up in the Super Over!
3. Wahab Riaz: Would never be needed with the two up top but just in case.

 

[Justcrazy]

Fakhar , Wahab , Imad.

 

[Bilal Ahmad15]

I'll do it for all teams (except NZ & ENG)

Pakistan - Fakhar & Imad, 1 down, Haris or Wahab. Amir for the over

Australia - Finch & Warner, 1 down, Alex Carey. Starc for the over

India - Rohit & Pant, 1 down, Kohli (or maybe Pandya). Bumrah for the over

Bangladesh - Tamim Iqbal & Mushfiqur Rahim, 1 down, Shakib. Mustafiz for the over

West Indies - Chris Gayle & Hetmyer, 1 down, maybe Carlos Brathwaite? Sheldon Cottrell for the over also?

Sri Lanka - Kusal Perera & Avishka Fernando, 1 down, Thisara Perera. Malinga for the over

Afghanistan - Hazratullah Zazai & Ashgar Afghan, 1 down, Rashid Khan. Rashid Khan or Mujeeb for the over.

South Africa - David Miller & Van der Dussen, 1 down Faf du Plessis. Rabada for the over.

(to be honest, not sure about Ban and WI)

 

[ads101]

Would go with Fakhar and Babar given it's a sucessful T20 pairing for us. More important to get consistent runs and Babar doesn't exactly start off slow, given is overall SR and t20 success. And the fact they open for us in T20s, hopefully they'd be used to the situation.

I'd play Imad at one down.

 

[dhump]

Wow, this thread exposes the situation of power hitters in Pakistan. Fakhar sounds like the only option, and even he is unreliable.

Maxwell instead of Finch.
Pandya instead of Pant
Pooran instead of Hetmyer
Nabi and Zazai
Miller and Faf/Morris

 

[Suleiman]

Wahab, Imad, Shobby (good under pressure)

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Fakhar would just miss a few. Wahab and Imad are the only options.

 

[as-95]

Afridi would come out of retirement

 

[The Viper]

Imad and Fakhar.

 

[shariqnoor]

I would have Babar and Hafeez as openers and Imad one down.

Pakistan has no power hitters in its lineup and Fakhar is an absolute hack. Same with Wahab and Hasan who can only swing blindly when there's absolutely no pressure. If you look at Wahab and Hasan's best innings, they've all come when the team was done and dusted. Under pressure, they've never succeeded.

Babar despite not being a power hitter still has the ability to play conventional shots to the boundary. Hafeez as we saw in the England game is probably the only batsman in the lineup who can effortlessly hit a six. So those two are my batsmen.
