Sahibzada Farhan and Mitchell Santner have had limited battles in T20Is. In one innings against each other, Farhan managed just 2 runs, striking at 50, while Santner kept things tight with an economy of 3.00 and did not concede much room. Though there were no wickets in that particular contest.

In the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2026, Farhan has been in sublime touch for Pakistan. After scores of 47 and 73, he smashed an unbeaten ton against Namibia in Colombo, powering his team into the Super Eights. Santner, meanwhile, has had a quieter tournament with modest returns against South Africa, UAE, and Afghanistan, and even missed a fixture due to illness.
