“Azam Khan is a good hitter. I think he got that one fifty there towards the end of the competition. He has definitely got a lot of power and he takes the ball on. He will be very driven to do well in this last leg,” Du Plessis said as quoted by Cricket Pakistan.

Further in the interaction, the 36-year-old opened up on the captaincy style of Sarfaraz Ahmed saying that the former Pakistan skipper is very passionate about the game and is always talking to the players. He added that Sarfaraz is quite different from MS Dhoni, who says calm and reserved on the field, but resembles Virat Kohli, who is very expressive. Cricket betting tips report free are available here.

“They [Sarfaraz Ahmed and MS Dhoni] are quite different. MS is quiet and reserved. He does most of his things instinctively on the field. Sarafraz is the opposite and almost like Virat [Kohli] in the sense where he is always talking to the players, talking to the bowlers. Always very passionate about how he captains his team and he shows it. There is no right and wrong way, they just have two different styles,” he added.
