New Zealand batsman Mark Chapman loves watching Pakistan power-hitter Fakhar Zaman bat since he is such an “explosive” player.
Zaman has long been one of Pakistan’s powerhouses and showcased his firepower in the five-match T20I series against New Zealand in April 2024.
In the two games he played, the 34-year-old from Mardan amassed 104 runs, which included a top score of 61, at an average of 52 and a strike-rate of 133.33.
“I love watching Fakhar Zaman, he’s explosive and a left-hander,” Chapman was quoted as saying by PakPassion on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Zaman was recently in action in Pakistan’s three-match T20I series against Ireland and made 98 runs in three games, which included a top score of 78, at an average of 49 and a strike-rate of 168.96.
The men in green will now play four T20Is against England from May 22 to May 30.
