It wont be a bad idea to keep sharjeel for the last overs as hitter. But looks like hafeez is out. So only other person to open with shahzad would be Sarfraz.
Similarly Wahab Riaz is out but plz no Anwar Ali. Emad is the person to replace him. Now instead of hafeez, I think Afridi will play a regular batsman which will be Khalid Latif. Otherwise Nawaz can be an option too.
Khalid Latif is also unbaked. Like Hafeez also prone to chasing outside off deliveries. Cant bowl either.
Anwar Ali is a good option can hit down the order. Also Wahab and Irfan are not getting wickets - so difference is simply runs leaked. Which at this level Anwar Ali makes up with batting/fielding capabilities.
T20 is not all about bowling fast. Something waqar has failed to understand. He Keeps harping about having 4 bowlers that bowl at 150 clicks. Useless mindset that doesnt hold true in T20. look at NZ. They will easily sit their fast bowlers for spin but keep playing Corey Anderson as he does a bit in both.
We get four such options in Malik, Imad, Anwar Ali, Afridi. A luxury we just cant seem to avail.
Wahab has done nothing special with the ball for a long time to deserve a place in the side. not contributed runs with the bat either.
Irfan has been a big disappointment plus cannot bat
Sami can be expensive but he is at least taking wickets
14.3
Mohammad Sami to Guptill, OUT, bowled im. What a big wicket that is. A great comeback from Guptill after two loose deliveries. Gets the length right, on off and middle, tailing back in just enough. Guptill tries a deft dab to third man but that inward movement is responsible for Guptill tapping the ball back onto his stumps. What an innings though
MJ Guptill b Mohammad Sami 80 (48b 10x4 3x6) SR: 166.66
