Waqar Ali Ahmed
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 90 balls (SR 56), then 50 to 100 in just 35 (SR 143) — more than double the tempo.

- ● Body of work — 19 imported matches (+0.4)
Critical recommendations
13 of 17 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
Out for 0 in 16% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
0.42 catches per match is elite for this level — keep it visible by taking the hardest catching positions in big games.
Strengths
- ✓ Consistent run-scorer — adjusted average 33.0.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 1 hundred(s), best of 127.
- ✓ Safe hands — 8 catches in 19 matches (0.42 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 35 × 40% · Batting 70 × 30% · Bowling 56 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.44 for the level played (Rep Div 1 5 · Club 12). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 17 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 8 catches + 0 run outs (0 direct, 0 assisted) in 19 matches — 0.42 per match.
- Batting
- 567 runs in 19 innings, adjusted average 33.0, strike rate 73.4. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- 14 wickets in 12 matches bowled in (of 19 played) — 1.17 per match at 20.0, economy 4.47, strike rate 26.9.
