Sufiyan Muqeem Cricket Player

In the second T20 International match between Australia and Pakistan, Sufiyan Muqeem made a notable debut for the Pakistani team. The match, held at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), saw Australia win the toss and elect to bat first, aiming to secure the series after their convincing win in the first match in Brisbane.

Sufiyan Muqeem, a left-arm wrist spinner, replaced big-hitting Haseebullah in the Pakistani lineup. Although Muqeem has played three T20Is before, these were part of a second-string side during the Asian Games in Hangzhou last year. His inclusion marked a strategic move by Pakistan to bolster their bowling attack[2].

Muqeem’s performance was significant as he managed to dismiss key Australian batsman Glenn Maxwell, who was struggling at 21 off 20 balls. This breakthrough was crucial in Pakistan’s attempt to restrict Australia’s scoring.

Born on November 15, 1999, Sufiyan Muqeem is a left-handed batsman and left-arm wrist spinner. He has been part of domestic teams such as Peshawar Zalmi and has also played for the Delhi Bulls in the IPL. His debut in international cricket came on October 7, 2023, against Bangladesh in Hangzhou.
