Junaid siddique actually has a SR of 159...go figure. aggressive openers like Ryder and Dilshan have strike rates i the 120s...so a sub 100 strike rate isn't unheard of in T20 cricket.

also ash was batting around a collapse...Hom got out cheaply, and 4-5 wickets fell in as many overs while he was batting.
Really depends on the conditions and the oppositions. The conditions are low and slow with a lot of turn so it's not the greatest pitch to bat on but this is Malaysia we're talking about so there shouldn't be an excuse for Ash having just 1 boundary and having a SR less then 100. He did do better then every batsman today except Mithun which is pretty sad.
