Pakistan won the Asia Cup for the second time courtesy of some brilliant individual performances. While there were some outstanding performances, there were some poor ones as well.
Below we will have a look at the stats of Pakistani Players in the recently finished Asia Cup.
We will start with the batting stats of the Pakistani batting team and it's not surprising that the middle order performance was average/below average yet again. Although Umer Akmal and Misbah Ul Haq's averages are on the higher side but still it wasn’t that encouraging.
BATTING STATS - ( In order of Most Runs Scored)

Now we will have a look at the bowling performance, although the bowlers took wickets their economy rates were disappointing. In fact quite surprisingly a part timer (Muhammad Hafeez) has the best economy among all bowlers and that’s probably why he has bowled more overs, even more than Saeed Ajmal.

MY PLAYER RATING ON THE BASIS OF STATS/PERFORMANCES
HAFEEZ: He was the main player for us, scored the highest runs and his bowling was tidy as ever. Although his strike rate has been bit on the slower side but then he had the luxury of an attacking partner in the form of Nasir Jamshed. He still needs to work on rotation of strike. I will give him 8/10.
AJMAL: Economical and threatening as ever. Took 8 wickets but look bit of colour or may be its because of his high standards. 8/10
JAMSHED: A great comeback, scored a century and half century on his comeback with few good catches as well. His main weaknesses is his fitness and running between the wickets. 7/10
GUL: Expensive but the highest wicket taker for Pakistan and played a little important cameo against Bangladesh in the group game. 7/10
SARFARAZ: He was tidy behind the stumps and played a crucial inning in the final. 6.5/10
CHEEMA: Expensive but took some crucial wickets especially against Srilanka. 6.5/10
AKMAL: Same old problem, a brilliant inning against Srilanka and helped Pakistan in winning that game with a bonus point which was very crucial. 6/10
MISBAH: One excellent inning against Srilanka and overall a good performance as a captain, though it was poor against India. 6/10
HAMMAD: Showed glimpses of talent but still a lot of work needs to be done. 5/10
AFRIDI: Apart from the all-round performance in final, a very poor series for Afridi. 4/10
YOUNIS: Barring that one inning against India, another poor odi series for Younis. Although he performed well in the field but I think he should just say goodbye to LOIs now. 4/10
ASAD: Unlucky that he didn’t get enough chance, just played one inning in which he didn’t impress at all. 2/10
WAHAB: Same as Asad. 2/10
