England Lions v Afghanistan
Hashmatullah - The silent performer

Hashmatullah Shahidi had scores of 37, 58, 97 not out, 71 and 0 in the Asia Cup. He was a quiet performer for Afghanistan and nobody even knew he had scored that many runs in the Asia Cup. Shahidi is a solid batsman capable of batting deep into the innings. He is the No 4 player in this team.

5. Shoaib Malik

New Zealand v Pakistan - 4th ODI
Shoaib Malik - the experienced batsman

Shoaib Malik was the savior of the Pakistan team in this Asia Cup. In the first match against India, Shoaib Malik scored 43 before being run-out. In the super four match against Afghanistan, Shoaib Malik remained not out on 51 and in the process won the game for Pakistan. Apart from being the best middle-order batsman, Malik is more than an useful off-spinner. Malik should come at No 5.
