Miss: Shaheen Afridi

This 17-year-old was touted to be the mainstay of the Pakistan bowling attack in this tournament. However, the left-arm fast bowler could not live up to the expectations from him in the semi-final.
He scalped a solitary wicket in the match and that too was of a lower-order batsman. He failed to pressurize the Indian top order at the beginning of the innings and was punished by some brilliant stroke-making at the hands of the Indian vice-captain.
In his ten-over spell, Afridi gave away 62 runs at an economy of 6.2 runs per over. For a bowler who is expected to be the next best thing for Pakistan cricket, these numbers are certainly disappointing.
