Asia Cup 2022: Rating teams based on their bowling performances in tournament
Bhuvneshwar Kumar with 11 wickets ended as the leading wicket-taker of the tournament.
3. Afghanistan - 7/10
Even though the Blue Tigers lost all their matches in the Super Four of the competition, the bowlers were in tremendous form. Mujeeb Ur Rahman led the bowling line-up with Rashid Khan being rock solid as well.
Toss once again played a factor in their Asia Cup campaign as Mohammad Nabi lost all three tosses in the Super Four. It forced them to bowl second in the match when the pitch became easy for the batters. Other than their match against India, Afghanistan were pretty much in the driving seat against Sri Lanka and Pakistan.
Both the matches were lost in the final over of the match. Fazalhaq Farooqi conceding two sixes in the final over of the match against Pakistan will haunt the bowler in the times to come. Nevertheless, the effort shown by the bowlers deserve some respect. Mujeeb Ur Rahman with seven wickets is the joint fourth highest wicket-taker in the tournament while Rashid Khan and Fazalhaq Farooqi have picked six wickets each.
