Pakistan’s captain, Babar Azam, climbed one spot to third in the most current ICC T20I batting rankings.
Babar struck the game-winning fifty against New Zealand in the recently concluded T20 World Cup semifinal.
The skipper, on the other hand, did not have a good start to the competition, scoring only 39 runs in the Super 12 stage, bringing criticism from both spectators and other experts.
He scored 32 runs in the title game, but Pakistan was unable to prevent England from winning.
Babar was only able to score 124 runs total during the tournament, with an average of 17.71 and a strikeout rate of 93.23 innings.
According to the remainder of the standings, Suryakumar Yadav, an Indian middle-order batsman, maintains his lead in the batting rankings.
Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan is placed second, followed by Devon Conway of New Zealand and Aiden Markram of South Africa, who are ranked fourth and fifth, respectively.
England’s opening batsman Alex Hales earned a huge gain in rating after contributing significantly to his team’s winning campaign.
“Alex Hales, who hit an unbeaten 86 off 47 deliveries against India in the semi-final, was also seen going up dramatically in the rankings, rising 22 places to No. 12. According to an ICC press release, Hales finished the T20 World Cup as England’s second-highest run scorer with 212 runs at an average of 42.40.
Sam Curran of England, who delivered three strikes against Pakistan in the championship match, was named Player of the Match and climbed two spots in the bowler rankings to take fifth place. Rashid Khan of Afghanistan and Wanindu Hasaranga of Sri Lanka remain at the top of the rankings.
Adil Rashid, an England spinner, has risen five places to third position in the rankings.
“Adil Rashid’s superb performances in the final against Pakistan and the semi-final against India have benefited him the most. According to the press release, Rashid advanced five places to No. 3 with statistics of 1/20 and 2/22 in the two bouts.
Shakib Al Hasan of Bangladesh, Mohammad Nabi of Afghanistan, and Hardik Pandya of India are the top three all-rounders in the rankings.
