Mohammad Rizwan - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 



Weekly Top 3


1. Mohammad Rizwan - 204 - Has been in such strong form during PSL 2020 and has the final still to play. He is the last man standing of our three PSL players and has scored 359 points more than anyone else.

2. Quinton De Kock - 187 - A return to a lower ranked T20 competition will always pad out your scores and QDK has done that with his run to the CSA T20 Challenge final. This is his third successive top 5 finish.

3. Kyle Jamieson - 125 - Two wickets is not a prolific haul for the New Zealander from the first #NZvSA Test - however it is enough to sneak him into the Top 3 in this meagre week.

Overall Top 5

1. Mohammad Rizwan - 962 - Rizwan becomes the sixth person to take first place on our overall list. The last two people (Pant and Moeen) only managed it for a single week; can he double up?

2. Moeen Ali - 944 - Inactive this week and down a place to second.

3. Quinton De Kock - 891 - Three successive weeks of three figure scores has finally seen De Kock up from 5th place to third as the CSA T20 Challenge comes to a close.

4. Glenn Maxwell - 821 - Played in two formats for the first time since 2020 this week, however it was not enough to see him drop down a place to fourth.

5. Risabh Pant - 730 - Was inactive for only the second time this year but has tumbled to his lowest ever position.

Other Mover

Despite the second lowest score of the week, Hasan Ali made the biggest move up the table. His 86 points was enough to overtake our trio of England players and Moeen Ali and move him into 13th.

Ones to Watch

The forthcoming Pak v Aus series has some tantalising battles. Babar Azam is 127 points off the top 5 with Kyle Jamieson, in action against South Africa, 19 points below him. Pat Cummins is 19 points off Simon Harmer in 8th whilst there is yet another 19 point gap between Steve Smith and Hasan Ali. Finally Labuschagne is 11 points off the Top 10.

Top 3 Averages

1. Simon Harmer = 263
2. Mohammad Rizwan= 192.4 (Up from 189.5)
3. Moeen Ali = 188.8

Hasan Ali's poor PSL followed by an all rightish performance versus Peshawar Zalmi sees his average improve by 8.58 - but, at 60.25 he has the second worst average on the list. His fellow countryman Babar Azam showed the biggest decrease in his average. Down 16.15 to 120.6 points a week.
