Opening batsman Imam-ul-Haq said he has has a better T20 strike-rate than many other Pakistan players.

Despite this, he has only featured in two T20 Internationals to date, in which he has scored 21 runs at an average of 10.50 and a strike-rate of 84.

The 25-year-old is currently part of the Peshawar Zalmi squad in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) and has amassed 107 runs in six games, which includes a top score of 48, at an average of 17.83 and a strike-rate of 109.18.

In his overall T20 career, he has made 1,982 runs in 70 matches, which includes 18 half-centuries, at an average of 33.59 and a strike-rate of 123.79.

“As far as T20 cricket is concerned, I haven’t played much for Pakistan. [The] majority of the T20 cricket I have played is for Peshawar Zalmi and here in PSL my strike rate [was] 132, which is better than the local batsmen,” he told Cricket Pakistan.

The Zalmi will face the Multan Sultans in the PSL final on Thursday after beating Islamabad United by eight wickets in Eliminator 2.
