Samar Zahoor
The story is the acceleration: a measured first fifty off 31 balls (SR 161), then 50 to 100 in just 28 (SR 179) — more than double the tempo.
Representative pathway — 1 pathway points in the overall rating
- ● Body of work — 38 imported matches (+0.8)
Critical recommendations
Going at 5.82 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).
22 of 30 dismissals caught. Review shot selection — particularly lofted drives and pulls early in the innings. Train hitting along the ground until set.
0.58 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 60.2.
- ✓ Scores quickly (SR 129.2) without sacrificing consistency.
- ✓ Proven ability to go big — 4 hundred(s), best of 144.
- ✓ Safe hands — 22 catches in 38 matches (0.58 per match), a genuine selection asset.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 66 × 40% · Batting 95 × 30% · Bowling not rated (weight redistributed). Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.30 for the level played (Club 27). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- Rated on the last 27 matches since 30 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 22 catches + 2 run outs (2 direct, 0 assisted) in 38 matches — 0.63 per match.
- Batting
- 1,873 runs in 37 innings, adjusted average 60.2, strike rate 129.2. Qualifies on the floors (avg ≥ 20, SR ≥ 40).
- Bowling
- Not rated: 11 wickets from 17.0 overs across 9 matches bowled in (of 38 played) — 0.29 per match, under the 0.25 floor. Bowls too rarely to judge.
