Mohammad Nawaz thrives on ‘positive pressure’ to give Pakistan an all-around lead

Nawaz, who was the player of the match for the win over India, first had to oblige the shouting fans on the boundary board. Thereafter, as the presentation ceremony began, he turned his attention to the ground staff and security personnel, who were asking for photographs with him. He then moved on to the post-match press conference – which started late, followed by a lengthy media interaction with Virat Kohli,

The rest of the team waited in the dressing room; Hasan Ali was peeping through the closed frosted door of the press-conference room, trying to grab Nawaz’s attention, but Nawaz’s attention was on the questions and the cameras. Hassan opened the door at one point, making a crackling noise that everyone could see their way through. It didn’t matter to Nawaz. He was in his zone, just like he was on the field before.

Mohammad Nawaz isn’t your regular blockbuster hero but has a reputation for being that proper utility player

Nawaz isn’t your regular blockbuster hero but has a reputation for being that proper utility player who can give you a quick cameo in the lower-middle order and bowl four good overs in as many days. On the field, in the Asia Cup, he has also been quite the livewire, trying to cut angles and fire on throws to the wicketkeeper on the bounce. He is essentially always in the game, sniffing out opportunities where he can contribute and give his team an edge

Because the contributions you make are not enough to get central, even if they are not insignificant. On Sunday he took center stage. His four no-frills overs were perfect. Nawaz did more than this. A commendable job, including the wicket of in-form Suryakumar Yadav in the tenth over when India was flying in a positive light.

Nawaz’s action is smooth and rhythmic

Nawaz’s action is smooth and rhythmic. He uses his angles well and mixes them with an effective arm-ball. He also shortened his length well, with the batsmen charging him on several occasions. Thought that only four overs of the night would be his decisive action, but it was not so. Pakistan scored 63 for 2 in 68 balls with 4 wickets in the ninth over. I needed 115 runs.

Being a “proper all-rounder” takes time, mainly because of his inconsistency in T20s. He made his T20I debut six years ago but had featured in only 32 matches before Sunday. Almost 25% of his career T20I runs came on the back of his 42 runs on Sunday. Earlier, there were just 124 runs in 14 innings. Both focus and execution were spot on. And the ceremony was delayed, but not denied
