Want to save 10 runs in one over, Bumrah or Naseem?

Babar Azam was asked in a media interview that 10 runs have to be saved in the last over of a T20 match. He has two options in front of him in the form of Jasprit Bumrah and Naseem Shah, so whom will Babar choose? Let us tell you that T20 is a format where scoring 10 runs in 2 balls is not a big deal. In such a situation, saving 10 runs in 6 balls is considered a big thing.

On the question of saving 10 runs in the last over, Babar Azam took the name of Naseem Shah without hesitation. Babar cited Naseem’s commitment and cricket talent as the reason for his selection. Babar said that Shaheen Shah Afridi is on his way to becoming a great bowler. According to Babar, Naseem is also moving forward on the same path.

Naseem or Bumrah, whose figures are better?

Naseem Shah has so far played 33 matches in his T20 career and taken 29 wickets and his economy rate is 8.06. On the other hand, India’s Jasprit Bumrah had taken 40 wickets in the same number of matches and his economy rate after 33 T20 matches was 6.76. Obviously, Bumrah’s figures in equal matches are much better.

Jasprit Bumrah has recently become only the second Indian bowler to complete 100 wickets in International T20 cricket. Before him, Arshdeep Singh had completed a century of T20 wickets.
