The players i will be looking for in the series as its starting from tommorow

Danish Aziz
He has been a great talent seems like a good player he was selected for New Zealand tour and he was selected for home series against South africa but he didn't play.

Imam Ul Haq

I don't know why people call him 'Parchi' he has a 150 against England in an ODI match in 2019 and a century against South Africa in 2019 and the only player in the squad right now who scored a century in South Africa in his career.

Temba Bavuma

He's performed well with bat and he tried to rescue his team also in the Pakistan series few months ago and its his first series as a captain.

Sharjeel Khan

It will be his first series since 2017 he has been batting great he is in a great form if Amir can get a chance then why not Sharjeel?

Mohammad Rizwan

He is in his best form of his life and the best wicket keeper in the world right now hoping to see him perform with bat and behind the wickets.

Shaheen Shah Afridi

The best bowler in the world right now he can take a wicket for you any time.

Dwaine Pretorius

He has a great talent just took five wickets against Pakistan in 2nd T20 he seems to be a good allrounder for South Africa.

Fakhar Zaman

He hasn't performed well in the International cricket since a while but he had a great PSL season this year i think he will do something special this series.

Aiden Markram

He scored a brilliant 100 against Pakistan few days ago he has good talent i think he can trouble our bowlers.

Usman Qadir

Son of legend Abdul Qadir he has great talent and he had a great debut series against Zimbabwe in October i think he can give wickets at crucial moments.

Faheem Ashraf

He has been performing well in New Zealand and in South Africa series also and he bowled brilliantly against Quetta Gladiators few days ago in PSL

Babar Azam

My favorite Babar he is a great rescuer and a great captain probably he will impress with his captaincy and batting both.

Imam Ul Haq

I don't know why people call him 'Parchi' he has a 150 against England in an ODI match in 2019 and a century against South Africa in 2019 and the only player in the squad right now who scored a century in South Africa in his career.

I believe he has the lowest powerplay strike rate

 

[AsadRM]

I believe he has the lowest powerplay strike rate

He does. But he's still the best player we have for the opening slot. His 80 off 100 might not be good enough for an aggressive England side, but for a decent side like Pakistan that innings and average (despite the strike rate) is worth its weight in gold.

 

[AsadRM]

My XI would be:

Imam ul Haq
Fakhar Zaman
Babar Azam
Haider Ali
Rizwan
Shadab Khan
Danish Aziz
Faheem Ashraf
Hasan Ali
Shaheen Afridi
Haris Rauf

What the media is reporting:

Imam ul Haq
Fakhar Zaman
Babar Azam
Rizwan
Asif Ali
Danish Aziz
Shadab Khan
Faheem Ashraf
Hasan Ali/ Hasnain (as Hasan isn't 100% yet after contracting COVID earlier)
Shaheen Afridi
Haris Rauf

Haris Rauf

Hasnain literally took a 5-fer in his last ODI.

 

[AsadRM]

Hasnain literally took a 5-fer in his last ODI.

Rauf is a more aggressive option, that's why I would prefer him in the first game. I won't mind seeing Hasnain, though

 

[Khan Sahab54]

(Hasan isn't 100% yet after contracting COVID earlier)

He has recovered from covid so he should play but if he is expensive Hasnain and Haris Rauf could also replace him.

Danish Aziz is making his ODI debut today

 

[Neptune]

deserved it for sure. very excited to see how his career turns out

 

[Khan Sahab54]

Shaheeeen! Take a bow 2 wickets in one over.

 

[Bigby Wolf]

Why on earth both the teams are playing with the same jersey?

Someone post that spiderman meme.

 

[Bevab]

Splendid bowling from the Pakistanis so far, Hasnain is truly a special talent.
