Imam-ul-Haq played a match-winning role for the Pakistan cricket team in the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League series against the Australian cricket team. He was the highest run-getter for the team, scoring 298 runs in three innings. He scored a century in the first match, but the Pakistan cricket team lost that match against the Australian cricket team.
Imam-ul-Haq continued to perform in the same vein and scored another century in the second ODI. This time, his efforts did not go in vain as the Pakistan cricket team pulled off their highest successful run-chase in ODI cricket history to beat the Australian cricket team and level the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League series by 1-1.
The third match of the series happened earlier today, where Imam scored 89 runs and helped the Pakistan cricket team chase 211 runs with nine wickets in hand. Speaking to host broadcasters after the match, Imam was asked about the ones who criticized his batting in the past. Replying to them, he said:
“I respect everyone, thankful that they criticize me, but I cannot handle this, the thing which I have changed in myself is that I can control the thing which is in my control, and that is my cricket. I really want to focus on that. Any game you play for Pakistan against any team, you will be criticized.”
Imam-ul-Haq had a batting average of 149 in the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League series against the Australian team
Imam had a memorable outing in the three ODI matches against the Australian team. He scored 298 runs at an average of 149. He could have scored a hat-trick of centuries if there were more runs to be scored by the Pakistan team.
Although Imam dominated the Australian cricket team, it was Babar Azam who won the Man of the Series award. The Pakistan captain scored 276 runs in three innings, smashing two centuries.
