For us fans and cricket experts, the Asia Cup 2022’s opening match between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan was nothing short of a surprise. An underappreciated Afghanistan team put up numerous outstanding performances during the game, outplaying the Sri Lankans with both the ball and the bat. Following are the player ratings for each member of both teams for this game:
Hazratullah Zazai, Afghanistan 1.
Hazratullah led his team to a resounding victory with a brilliant innings of 37 off 28 balls.
He continued to the very end and didn’t stop striking until his team got to the goal. He earns an 8.5 out of 10 for this.
- Rahmanullah Gurbaz, nine
He completely destroyed all Sri Lankan dreams with his lightning-quick 40 off just 18 balls and helped his team get off to a fast start. His performance ensured that his team never lost steam and that they easily attained the goal of 106. He receives a 9. He had a standout performance in the Sri Lanka vs. Afghanistan game.
Ibrahim Zadran third, 6.5
Ibrahim Zadran, who was eliminated at the score of 15, might have undoubtedly continued playing. After Rahmanullah was overthrown, his largely positive contribution allowed his team to come dangerously close to the goal. Thus, he receives a 6.5 out of 10.
Najibullah Zadran, position four
The left-handed player didn’t really contribute much to the game as his team scored the goal in just 11 overs while he was still not out at 2. He dismissed Pathirana while still on the field by holding onto a catch. So, he receives a 5.
Karim Janat, No. 5,
Karim Janat, much like Zadran, didn’t have to contribute significantly to his team’s convincing victory either with the bat or on the field. So, he receives a 4.
Mohammed Nabi — 6
Mohammed Nabi, the captain of Afghanistan, was fantastic with the ball. His statistics of 2-14 overs were incredibly strong. Additionally, his amazing bowling variations helped the team defeat the competition. Thus, he receives an 8.
Rashid Khan, number 7,
In his four required overs, Rashid Khan bowled sparingly, giving up only 12 runs. It was quite surprising, though, that he was unable to take any wickets in a game where the opposing team was all out. Thus, he receives a 7 out of 10.
Azmatullah Omarzai, 8.
Omarzai only bowled one over during the game and took a 20-run beating. He receives a 4.5 despite being the only Afghanistan player to struggle during the contest.
- 7 Naveen Ul Haq
His stats of 1-23 in four overs were respectable and helped his team a little bit with the ball. Obtaining a 7 out of 10.
Mujeeb Ur Rahman, 10th, 7.5
In today’s game, Mujeeb once again had success restricting the runs and taking off wickets with his mysterious spin. It was essential for his side to disturb the opposing hitters with his stretch of 2-24 in 4 overs. His rating is 7.5 out of 10.
Eleven. Fazalhaq Farooqi (9.5)
He turned the tide of the game for his team with a brilliant bowling performance that included a 3-11 spell in 3.3 overs. The primary factor in Afghanistan’s victory in the game was his skill with the ball. He deserves a 9.5 for being correctly named the game’s man of the match. He is without a doubt the star of this game between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka.
Pathum Nissanka: 1 points for Sri Lanka
Nissanka had the unfortunate luck to have the umpire call him out incorrectly. His batted-in contribution of 3 runs wasn’t sufficient, thus he receives a 4.
Kushal Mendis – 2,5
In addition to being removed after just two runs in the first over, Kushal Mendis also made no contributions on the field. So, he receives a 2.5.
- One Charith Asalanka
Farooqi removed Asalanka for a golden duck in the first over alone, earning him a score of 1. He was among the players who played the poorest in the Sri Lanka vs. Afghanistan game.
Danushkha Gunathilaka, number four
Gunathilaka managed to halt the loss of wickets, but he was unable to sustain the innings. His 17 innings were cut short rather early since his team was in trouble at 49/4. So, he receives a 5.
6.5 points for Bhanuka Rajapaksha.
Rajapaksha’s 38-ball innings made him the best batsman for his team during the game. His unfortunate running out at the wrong time might have cost his team the game. His grade is 6.5.
Wanindu Hasaranga, number 6,
After being dismissed for just two runs, Wanindu struggled at the plate and managed to take out the dangerous-appearing Rahmanullah Gurbaz. So, he receives a 6.
Dasun Shanaka, score two
The captain of Sri Lanka was out for a golden duck and made no runs with the ball either. He receives a 2, and his bowling substitutions and captaincy choices also seemed quite flimsy.
Chamika Karunaratne, eighth, 5.5
He kept the innings together and stopped the loss of wickets from continuing. The squad passed the 100-run threshold thanks to his middle-of-the-inning 31 off 38 ball inning. He got hit for 20 runs in his lone over of the game, though, when he had the ball. So, he receives a 5.5.
- Mahesh Theekshana, score three
Theekshana gave up 35 runs in his 4 overs without taking a single wicket and was run out without facing a delivery. So, he receives a 3.
Number ten, Matheesha Pathirana:
Prior to being bowled out, Pathirana had scored 5 runs while batting. In the one over he bowled throughout the game, he had been hit for 16 runs. So, he receives a 3.
Dilshan Madushanka, number two
The one over Dilshan Madushanka bowled throughout the game, in which he let up 10 runs, prevented him from having a meaningful impact on the outcome. So, he receives a 2.
