Ahmed Shehzad and Nasir Jamshed were far from impressive in today's innings, failing to bring about any momentum to the innings. Both had strike-rates (S/R) of just a fraction of 50, which is simply unacceptable in an ODI match. On the other hand, Zimbabwe openers were more at ease and scoring at a significantly higher rate.
Is there really an excuse for this performance given that these players should have been well accustomed to the playing conditions in Harare by now?
Mohammad Hafeez played 4 T20 matches against Zimbabwe scored 3 fifties and got 3 or more wickets in every match where he scored a fifty against Zimbabwe.
