Azhar v Pakistan - A Statistical Analysis

Atul Kahate

In what could be the make or break of his career, Mohammad Azharuddin needs to come well with bat against pakistan on Tuesday at any cost. It would be interesting to look at Azhar's record against Pakistan. His average against them is not bad (31). But it is the manner of his dismissals that has been interesting.

The following table shows the way he has been dismissed by the Pakistani bowlers.
