Yet another pair of Pakistani superstars are set to grace the BBL in the second clash of the season, with Muhammad Rizwan and Shaheen Shah Afridi taking the field.
Babar Azam, one of the world’s best T20 players, made his debut for the Sixers, failing after being dismissed for two from five balls, chipping a pull shot to mid-on.
Rizwan has a T20 record that stacks up against Azam’s, boasting a staggering average on the international stage sitting at 47.41 across his 106 games.

His domestic T20 statistics aren’t far behind, averaging 43.24 across his 292 games in what shapes as a huge addition for the Renegades.
Elsewhere, Jason Behrendorff and Andrew Tye both make their Renegades debuts after being high-profile signings.
For the Heat, another Pakistani gun in seamer Shaheen Shah Afridi is a mammoth inclusion and has sheer pace to burn.
Expect to see the 25-year-old swinging the ball at the top of the order, being one of the world’s premier T20 bowlers with 126 T20I and 334 T20 wickets.
