Misbah-ul-Haq

Misbah-ul-Haq
Misbah-ul-Haq (born Misbah-ul-Haq Khan Niazi ی on May 28, 1974 in Mianwali) is a Pakistani cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and a legbreak bowler. He has done his MBA from University of Management & Technology, Lahore. Misbah was initially noticed for his technique and his temperament in the Tri-nation tournament in Nairobi, Kenya in 2002, as he scored two fifties in the three innings in which he played, however, over the next three Tests he played against Australia, he failed to score more than twenty runs and was soon dumped from the team. Having witnessed Pakistan being eliminated in the opening phase of the World Cup, Misbah was part of the changes made to the team in the aftermath of these results, but failed to make much of an impact and was soon dropped again. His first-class average is in the high forties. Misbah is known for his cool headed batting especially under pressure. He has performed remarkably well in Twenty20. He played an instrumental role in Pakistan's recovery in the inaugural World Twenty 20 Final against arch-rivals India, with 3 consecutive sixes. The sixes came off Harbhajan Singh's last over of the match. With 6 runs needed to win off 4 remaining balls, Misbah tried to scoop the ball over short fine leg, but was caught by Sreesanth. He had also earlier been prominent in Pakistani run chases throughout the tournament. He scored a half century in a tie against India in the preliminary group phase and was run out attempting the winning run off the last ball of the match. He went on to score unbeaten half centuries as Pakistan defeated Australia in a run chase in the second group phase and steered Pakistan to victory in a run chase over New Zealand in the semi final.
