Imad played a match-winning knock against Peshawar Zalmi in the second eliminator of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season 9 at the National Stadium in Karachi on Saturday.
A day earlier, former Pakistani captain Wasim Akram praised Imad for maintaining his calm despite fall of early wickets. Talking on a local media channel, Wasim Akram praised Imad’s body language as he didn’t let the pressure get him and was in full control of himself despite losing five wickets with a huge target to face.
“When Imad Wasim came out to bat in such a situation, it can be a bit confusing, but he was totally calm. Look at his body language, it was a dangerous sign for Peshawar when he started,” Akram said.
“When a player is calm, it means that he is just waiting for his time and that’s what happened. He scored 59 off 40 balls, the strike rate was 147, but his innings was much better than what the stats show. The situation in which he came, the way he built a partnership with Haider Ali,” he added.
