Farhaan behardien was born in the year 1983 and he is South African International Cricketer and he played T20IS and ODIs. During the T20I, he was the captain for Sri Lanka Tour in 2017. He plays for Nashua Titans and he made the List-A Cricket and First class debuts in 2004-2005 season. He is aggressive batsman and he uses his right hand while at the same time, he is a useful bowler and athletic fielder.He made numerous appearances for South Africa 'A', but couldn't perform on a consistent basis. He averaged 45.66 in the domestic limited-overs competition and 66.60 in T20s. Behardien ended up as the fourth highest run-getter in that T20 tournament and was later named as the South African T20 player of year at their annual awards, which helped him find a route to the national side.
In the year 2009,Farhaan behardien had to travel to Australia where he had three week tour together with the emerging Squad of South Africa. He represented South Africa in 2009 tournament: Hong Kong Sixes. He hit the six final balls and led to the victory of South Africa in the final played with Hong Kong. During the first half season of 2009, Behardian played like an overseas player of Bovey Tracey and he had a role to play like a coach for the under 13 side.According to his biography,Farhaan behardien made his debut in South Africa against India in the year 201. He scored 20* from the 11 deliveries he faced. He also earned a place in South African Squad for 2012 ICC World Twenty20. He was playing South African ODI squad in the year 2014 and he made 65* important knock.
He has always been looked up as a cricketer, who can replace one of the middle-order batsmen when they are injured or not available. The selectors though, showed faith in Behardien by picking him for the 50-over World Cup. The right-hander had a decent World Cup, notching up a half-century against United Arab Emirates (UAE). Batting at six or seven, Behardien hasn't got too many opportunities to impress and that has somewhat stymied his progress as a batsman.
Farhaan behardien is said to have been born to Pakistani parents but some say that his ethnicity may be Indian. Besides making the name as being the best cricketer, he is also making a name because of his religion. He is Muslim together with other two players. Hashim Amla who has a number position for both ODI and Test and Imran Tahir, another player Wayne Parnell also converted into Muslim from Christianity.
Farhaan behardien was being counted on while playing for Titans and he was producing goods in the middle order. He has amazing consistency with the nerveless finishing for Titans when they reached the title of MiWayT20. His challenge title got the eye of the national coach called Gary Kristen.Farhaan behardien spent some of his time playing in the amateur team before deciding to join National Academy of 2006. This is where he was seen by Richard Pybus and got his contract to play professionally for Titans.
A fringe part of the South African line-up, Behardien remains a secondary option for the selectors and didn't play in even a single game during the 2017 Champions Trophy, despite being part of the original 15-man South Africa squad. Named as South Africa's domestic Twenty20 player of the year in 2017, Behardien remains an useful asset at the franchise level and was later picked up by home ground based franchise, Pretoria Mavericks, for the inaugural edition of South Africa's lucrative Twenty20 tournament, Global T20 League.
Last time we played here, we made 170 and Sri Lanka chased it. We had a few dropped catches and the wind was a bit swirling. I reckon between 160 and 180 will be the ideal score. The ball might swing a bit, as it is a 6pm start.
