Waqar Younis Dismissals & Head-to-Head
Two evidence levels are kept separate: historical scorecards for career dismissal relationships, and Cricsheet for delivery-level international matchups where ball-by-ball data exists.
Who dismissed whom
How these totals relate: 46 of 193 batting dismissals name the bowler; 147 do not. The breakdown below totals the named-bowler dismissals only. On the bowling side, 156 of 789 verified career wickets have a usable named-batter dismissal link in this scorecard source.
Source check: summary totals reconcile with the full underlying scorecard breakdown.
