Mohammad Rizwan is currently their top scorer with 93 runs in 3 matches but the strike rate is on the lower side which is 88.57. Then their skipper and most dependable batter Babar Azam didn’t get the desired runs this tournament as he only managed 90 runs with a strike rate of 104.65. His best came against the United States where he scored 44 runs in 43 balls.
After them none of the other batters scored much with the bat and got out early without scoring much runs.
