STAT ALERT

Babar azam's SR at different phases of the innings for LOST MATCHES

6-10 indicates why pak lost the wc semifinal

12-16: reduction in avg as he tries to accelarate hence he doesn't blast

17-20: shows why he doesn't accelarate, when he does he gets out

#BabarAzam

Now comparing this to the matches he WON (overall)

There is a dip in SR from 12-16 and that too costs his team at times. Thus a STRIKER AT THE OTHER END IS REQUIRED TO COMPENSATE FOR HIS INABILITY.

Stat 3: Won Matches during chasing

Innings phase SR

Again a dip in Strike rate between overs number 12-16 (the most crucial period during any chase)

Thus requires a partner at the other end who can up the anti during that phase.

Just like yest, he had no one to blast in 12-16

STAT 4: LOST WHILE CHASING

This suggests that despite his accelaration in the final 3 overs, his inability to accelarate during 7-16 puts his team behind the runrate.

This kills the chase. He ends up standing as SO CALLED LONE WARRIOR, but he himself costs his team matches

STAT 5: Batting 1st: Lost

07-11: SR 108.5 (this costs his team 10-15 runs just like it costed pak in semis)

12-16: 136 SR with reduced average

17-20: avg 8 as he gets out trying to hit (inability)

Final stat: BATTING 1st WINS

His Strike Rate falls with every passing phase while batting first.

This also suggests that the team ends up on a subpar total or the guy at other end compensate for him.

"Thus the bowlers end up winning him matches"
