Top 5 performers from England vs Pakistan ODI series

Sarfraz Ahmed

Pakistan might have largely had a series to forget barring the final ODI but one bright spark amidst the gloom and darkness that come with a 4-1 series loss to England was the form of their keeper Sarfraz Ahmed. A fifty and a hundred in the first two games of the series set the platform which unfortunately subsided in the following two games.

But he ensured that Pakistan didn't suffer the ignimony of a whitewash as his 90 in the final ODI in Cardiff ensured that Pakistan at least won an ODI game and will go into the only T20I with a winning feeling. What was most impressive about the 29-year-old was his ability to put the situation behind and just go about playing his natural game.

At 29, he is entering into the prime of his career and his recent numbers have shown that he is ready to make the step up in the middle-order and take control as the finisher. A tally of 300 runs in 5 matches at an average of 60 with a century and two fifties only highlight those credentials.
