Pakistan’s performance in T20 Internationals 2024 has been very poor so far and they need to play 2 more games in this format this year. Pakistan have played 26 T20 internationals this year so far and have won only nine of them, while they have suffered defeats in 15 of them. The biggest reason why Pakistan performed so humiliatingly was that their two most experienced batsmen, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, could not lead the team to victory despite scoring high runs. Pakistan are currently on tour of South Africa and the biggest example of this is the first T20 match of the series. Babar Azam returned to the pavilion without opening an account while Mohammad Rizwan, despite scoring 74 runs, could not save his team from an 11-run defeat.
Slow batting becomes the biggest reason for failure in the power play
Currently, in the T20 format, most teams have such batsmen as top-order batsmen who have the ability to change the pace and direction of the game in just 10 balls. On the other hand, if we look at Pakistan, the situation is completely opposite as openers Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan batted so slowly in the first six overs, which left Pakistan far behind in the match . If we look at the performance of the top 10 ICC batsmen in T20 Internationals 2023, then both Babar and Mohammad Rizwan, who are among the top 5, are the lowest in terms of scoring at least 250 runs. Since 2023, both players have scored less than 124 runs in the first 6 overs of T20 Internationals.
This is the record of both players
If we look at the powerplay record of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan in T20 Internationals since 2023, Babar has scored 333 runs in 26 games but during this period, his hits The rate is only 120.2. If we talk about Mohammad Rizwan, the current captain of Pakistan limited-overs team has played 22 T20 internationals since 2023, in which he has scored 385 runs in the powerplay average of 42.78, But the shooting rate is only 1.5 points. 123.8 has been seen.
