2018 Asia Cup: 5 Hits and flops of the tournament

FLOPS:

#1 Mohammad Amir (Pakistan)

Amir didn't have a great Asia Cup

A crucial reason for Pakistan missing the final of 2018 Asia Cup was its weak bowling attack, something which the Men in Green are otherwise known for. Before the start of the tournament, the 26-year-old left-arm pacer was seen as the commander-in-chief for Pakistan's Bowling attack but he performed way below expectations.

Before getting replaced by Junaid Khan, Amir played three matches for Pakistan but was unable to pick up any wicket, a stat any strike bowler would fret hearing. In the Super Four fixture against India, he conceded 41 runs with an economy rate of 8.20 runs per over which is extremely disappointing for a bowler of his calibre.

Unluckily for Amir and Pakistan, their strike bowler just did not get going and had a forgettable outing.

#2 Fakhar Zaman (Pakistan)

After Mohammad Amir, the performance of left-handed opener Fakhar Zaman was the most disturbing and distressing thing for Pakistan. He played all the 5 matches for Pakistan but scored just 56 runs with a poor average of 11.20. His scores in the tournament were -- 24,0,0,31 and 1 -- in the five matches.
