Pakistan’s spinner, Abrar Ahmed, has made a significant leap in the ICC T20I rankings, moving up 12 places to become the new World No. 4 T20I bowler. This rise comes after his impressive performances in the ongoing Asia Cup 2025, where he has taken five wickets in five matches so far.
Impressive Performance in the Asia Cup
Abrar’s performances in the Super 4s matches have been outstanding. In Pakistan’s match against Sri Lanka, he bowled four overs, conceding just eight runs while taking one wicket. However, in the encounter with India, Abrar finished with figures of 1 for 42. Despite the challenges, his consistent performances have earned him 703 rating points, catapulting him to the No. 4 spot in the T20I rankings.
Abrar will next be seen in action on September 25, 2025, when Pakistan faces Bangladesh in Dubai. The winner of this match will secure a spot in the final of the Asia Cup.
