The 2024 season of Major League Cricket (MLC) has showcased a variety of talents from around the world, including some notable performances from Pakistani bowlers. While some have thrived, others have struggled to find their form in the American cricketing landscape.

Seattle Orcas: Imad Wasim and Zaman Khan

Despite the Seattle Orcas being knocked out of the 2024 MLC season, their Pakistani bowlers, Imad Wasim and Zaman Khan, have delivered commendable performances, especially in terms of economy.

Imad Wasim

Matches: 5

Wickets: 4

Economy Rate: 6.52

Imad Wasim has been a standout performer for the Orcas with his left-arm spin. Known for his ability to contain runs and provide crucial breakthroughs, Imad's economy rate of 6.52 is among the best in the tournament. His knack for maintaining pressure on the batsmen has been a key component of his bowling strategy, making him one of the more economical bowlers in the league.

Zaman Khan

Matches: 4

Wickets: 4

Economy Rate: 7.22

Zaman Khan, the young pace sensation, has also shown promise. With an economy rate of 7.22, Zaman has been able to control the run flow effectively. His ability to bowl at the death with precision and pace has made him a valuable asset for the Orcas, even though their campaign has come to an early end.

San Francisco Unicorns: Haris Rauf and Abrar Ahmed

The San Francisco Unicorns are still in contention for the playoffs of the tournament.

Haris Rauf

Matches: 6

Wickets: 3

Economy Rate: 8.19

Haris Rauf, known for his express pace, has had a challenging season. With only three wickets in six matches and an economy rate of 8.19, Rauf has struggled to replicate his usual wicket-taking prowess. His higher economy rate indicates difficulties in controlling runs, a crucial aspect in T20 cricket. However, his pace and ability to generate bounce can still make him a game-changer in the crucial playoff stages.

Abrar Ahmed

Matches: 2

Wickets: 1

Economy Rate: 8.42

Leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed has had limited opportunities, featuring in only two matches for the Unicorns. With just one wicket to his name and an economy rate of 8.42, Abrar has found it tough to make a significant impact.
