Beyond the numbers
486 matches across formats and continents
Ali has appeared in ODIs, Tests, the IPL, T20 Blast, The Hundred, the BPL and the CPL across 486 career matches. His 10,713 runs and 523 wickets place him among the most productive English all-rounders in the warehouse. That volume of cricket across multiple leagues gives the data unusual depth.
71 wickets against India at 3.98 economy
Against India over 39 matches, Ali has claimed 71 wickets at an economy of 3.98, his best returns against any major opponent. Those are numbers built across multiple formats and conditions, making the head-to-head split one of the standout figures in his career record.
Edgbaston his most productive ground with bat and ball
In 44 matches at Edgbaston, Ali has averaged 34.88 with the bat at a strike rate of 127.22, while picking up 45 wickets. It is his highest batting average at any venue in the top eight by matches played, and the ground where his all-round numbers are most consistently strong.
T20 Blast average of 31.81 at a strike rate of 157.13
Ali's Blast record stands out in the per-competition breakdown: 1,686 runs at 31.81 and a bowling average of 21.97 across 58 matches. That bowling average is his best in any format, and the batting strike rate of 157.13 is his highest across all listed competitions.
PSL form in early 2026 shows aggressive intent
In five PSL appearances between 27 March and 11 April 2026, Ali scored 124 runs including a 44 off 16 balls and an unbeaten 48 off 29. The bowling returns were modest over the same spell, but the batting strike rate across those innings was comfortably above 150.
