On recent form, a 73 off 43 balls with 3/29 against South Africa in a T20I on 1 March 2026 was the clearest reminder of his match-winning capacity, though his PSL outings for Lahore Qalandars in March and April 2026 have been quieter.

Career threads
Beyond the numbers
A genuine all-round threat across 346 matches
Raza has accumulated 8,910 runs and 254 wickets across all formats in 346 career appearances. That dual contribution at a bowling average of 35.09 and batting average of 30.62 makes him one of the most consistent all-rounders in Associate and international cricket.
ODIs are where his batting peaks
Across 124 One-Day Internationals, Raza averages 38.15 with the bat at a strike rate of 88.58, well above his overall career average of 30.62. His 75 ODI wickets at an economy of 4.96 add further weight to his case as a primary match-winner in the 50-over format.
Sri Lanka bring out his best batting
Against Sri Lanka Cricket across 30 matches, Raza averages 40.70 with the bat and has claimed 30 wickets at an economy of just 4.13. That combination of run-scoring and controlled bowling is his strongest recorded head-to-head record against a Test-playing nation.
Harare Sports Club is his most productive ground
In 87 matches at Harare Sports Club, Raza has scored 2,763 runs at an average of 35.42 and taken 68 wickets at an economy of 4.91. No other ground comes close for sheer volume of contribution.
Recent PSL form has been modest with the bat
Across his last five PSL appearances in early 2026, Raza's top score was 25 from 19 balls. He did pick up 3 wickets across those outings, including a 2/27 against Hyderabad Kingsmen, but consistent batting contributions have been scarce in this run of fixtures.
