Disappointing Mohammad Nabi

All-rounder Mohammad Nabi is among the veterans of the shorter format of the game. But in the Abu Dhabi T10 League, there has been a steep decline, especially in the last two seasons, which were played at Abu Dhabi.

Also, Mohammad Nabi has batted in 13 innings but has never scored a fifty in the tournament.He is among the nine batsmen with no fifty despite having batted in 13 innings. 

His bowling too has been highly disappointing in the tournament. Like his batting, it has also declined while playing at Abu Dhabi.

Also, three out of the five innings he has bowled at Abu Dhabi have gone wicketless. 

Nabi has an overall economy of 13.55 in the tournament from 20.4 overs. 22 bowlers have bowled more than 20 overs in the tournament and among them, Nabi has the highest economy rate.

Hardus Viljoen not living up to the expectation

His three wickets in this season came in the last match after conceding 36 runs, which is now the most expensive three-wicket haul in the tournament. Moreover, Viljoen’s economy of 15 in this season is the second highest among 18 bowlers who have bowled 6 or more overs.

Impressive Ravi Bopara
