The Asia Cup 2022 was full of action and intensity as it provided cricketing fun and entertained millions of cricket lovers from all across the world to the greatest extent. All the participating teams have given it their all so as to achieve desirable results in the tournament.&nbsp;



We got to see some extraordinary performances from some players in particular while several others had a disappointing time to everyone's surprise. The batters in particular ruled the tournament as they majorly determined their team's fortunes in the toughest of circumstances.&nbsp;



The Asia Cup 2022 witnessed several world-class batters prove their worth on the big stage. It's time for us to have a look at the top three highest run scorers in the Asia Cup 2022.&nbsp;



<h2>3. Ibrahim Zadran (Afghanistan) - 196 Runs</h2>

Ibrahim Zadran finished third in the list of top run-getters in the Asia Cup 2022. The left-handed batsman was the top run-getter in the Asia Cup for his side with 196 runs in 5 matches including one fifty as he played a crucial role with the bat in several games.&nbsp;



He made quite a few crucial contributions with the bat and scored vital runs for his side against quality teams. His highest score was that of 64 which came against India in the super 4 stage match.



<h2>2. Virat Kohli (India) - 276 Runs</h2>

Virat Kohli announced his arrival and is back to form with multiple incredible performances with the bat in the Asia Cup 2022. The right-hander smashed an unbelievable 276 runs in 5 matches at an average of 92. He smashed 2 fifties and his maiden century during the tournament and was the second leading run scorer in the Asia Cup 2022.&nbsp;



His highest score of 122* came against Pakistan in the super 4-stage match. Despite being considered to be out of form prior to the start of the tournament, the ex-captain of India proved his worth as he scored crucial runs for his side with great consistency throughout the tournament.&nbsp;



Unfortunately for him, India couldn't make things happen for itself and fail to reach the finals despite his magical efforts.



<h2>1. Mohammad Rizwan (Pakistan) - 281 Runs</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/09/rizwan-steadied-the-ship-along-1.jpg" alt="Mohammad Rizwan, PAKvsHK" class="wp-image-93807" width="1040" height="705" /><figcaption>Mohammad Rizwan</figcaption></figure>



Mohammed Rizwan was the top run scorer in Asia Cup 2022. The right-handed amassed 281 runs in 6 matches including 3 half centuries at an average of 56.20. The right-handed scored important runs for his side in the majority of the matches and was among the runs for the majority of the tournament.&nbsp;



His highest score of 71 came against India in the crucial Super 4 stage match wherein Pakistan was chasing a total of 181. His low strike rate however seemed to be a bit of concern for the side. Unfortunately for him, Pakistan failed to win the title after being defeated by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Lanka_national_cricket_team">Sri Lanka</a> in the finals despite his brilliant efforts with the bat.&nbsp;

SL vs AFG 2023: Afghanistan Defeated Sri Lanka on their Home Ground by Six Wicket

sl-vs-afg-2023-afghanistan-defeated-sri-lanka-on-their-home-ground-by-six-wicket

Sri Lanka and Afghanistan are all set to take on each other in the second T20 international match of the three match T20i series at Dambulla?s Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium. The match will be played today, and it will commence at 7:00 IST.



Having whitewashed the Afghans 3-0 in the three-match ODI Series, the Wanindu Hasaranga led Sri Lanka started the T20 International series with a bang as they defeated the visitors by four runs in the first T20 International game.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><div><div class=""><a href="#here-is-the-live-streaming-information-for-the-sl-versus-afg-second-t-20-i">Here is the live streaming information for the SL versus AFG second T20I.</a><div><div class=""><a href="#1-when-will-the-second-t-20-international-between-sri-lanka-and-afghanistan-take-place">1) When will the second T20 International between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan take place?</a></div><div class=""><a href="#2-where-will-the-second-t-20-international-between-sri-lanka-and-afghanistan-be-played">2) Where will the second T20 International between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan be played?</a></div></div></div><div class=""><a href="#3-can-i-watch-the-second-t-20-international-between-sri-lanka-and-afghanistan-on-tv-in-india">3) Can I watch the second T20 international between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan on tv in India?</a></div><div class=""><a href="#sl-vs-afg-squads">SL vs AFG: Squads</a></div></div></nav></div>



After being asked to bat first, the Lankans were bundled out for 160 runs in 19 overs thanks to the superb bowling efforts of Fazalhaq Farooqi (3-25), Naveen Ul-Haq (2-25), and Azmatullah Omarzai (2-30). Left arm seamer Fazalhaq Farooqi ran through the top order of the Lankans as he dismissed both the openers, Pathum Nissanka (6 runs in 4 balls) and Kusal Mendis (10 runs in 8 balls), cheaply. Naveen, Ul-Haq and Noor Ahmad (1?18) kept the middle order under check as they kept on dismissing the batters at regular intervals. Then Lankan skipper Wanindu Hasaranga took matters into his own hands as he played a career-best inning of 67 runs in 32 balls at an excellent strike rate of 209.38. His knock helped the hosts put up a respectable score of 160 runs on the board. The Wanindu Hasaranga led team would like to seal the series with a victory in the second T20i.



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/02/C2D6C12D-A932-4867-8682-93A383FCBAC2.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-126790" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Wanindu Hasaranga batting in the 2nd T20i vs Afghanistan | Image: X (Sri Lanka Cricket)</figcaption></figure>



A target of 161 runs looked like a gettable one, but the visitors could muster 156 runs in their quota of 20 overs. Afghan Skipper Ibrahim Zadran (67 runs in 55 balls) played the role of the lone warrior, as no other Afghan batter was able to support him from the other end. CSK Seamer Matheesha Pathirana (4-24), Dasun Shanaka (2-17), and Angelo Mathews (1-16) troubled the visitor?s batting unit with their variations and eventually, the Ibrahim Zadran-led team lost the first T20 International by four runs. Afghanistan would be looking to bounce back with a win in the second T20i if they want to stay alive in the series.

Asian Teams Sri Lanka and Afghanistan are all set to square off against&nbsp; each other in the third and final T20 International of the three match T20i series at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium of Dambulla. The match will begin at 7:00pm IST.



After whitewashing Afghanistan in the three - match ODI series 3-0, the Lankans have secured the T20 International series as well having triumphed in the first two matches and they would be looking to whitewash the Afghans in the T20 series as well.



In the previous match, the Ibrahim Zadran led team had won the toss and opted to bow first. The hosts started their innings with a bang as both the openers took full advantage of the powerplay. But the duo of Azmatullah Omarzai and Fazalhaq Farooqi dismissed both the openers in the fourth and fifth overs of the Sri Lankan innings respectively.&nbsp;



Mohammad Nabi dismissed Dhananjaya de Silva (14 runs in 14 balls) in the tenth over as the hosts were struggling at 86-3. Then Sadeera Samarawickrama (51 runs in 42 balls) came into bat at number four and solidified the Lankan innings with this brilliant half century knock. Skipper Wanindu Hasaranga (22 runs in 9 balls) and Angelo Mathews (42 runs in 22 balls) applied the finishing touches with the bat and helped their side post a score of 187 runs on the board.



The visitors had a huge task in front of them to chase a big total against a good bowling attack. They needed their openers to help their team get off to a good start but Angelo Mathews dismissed the opening duo of Hazratullah Zazai (1 run in 2 balls) and Skipper Ibrahim Zadran (10 runs in 7 balls) in quick succession within the first two overs of the Afghanistan innings. Maheesh Theekshana and Binura Fernando ran through the middle order of the visitors as Afghanistan lost five wickets at the score of 31 runs within the first five overs. Karim Janat (28 runs in 23 balls) and Mohammad Nabi (27 runs in 17 balls) fought back with some decent knocks but they weren?t able to save their team from a 72 runs defeat as the Afghans were bundled out for 115 runs in 15 overs.



The Ibrahim Zadran led team are yet to win a single match on this tour of Sri Lanka and they would like to end the T20i series on good note by winning the third T20i. The Wanindu Hasaranga led team, on the other hand would be looking to clean sweep the Afghans by defeating them in the third T20i

Must Pick Players



<ol>
<li>Wanindu Hasaranga- The highest run getter of this series so far, Hasaranga has managed to score 89 runs and has picked up three scalps as well. He is a must pick for your team. </li>



<li>Matheesha Pathirana- The CSK fast bowler has been lethal with the ball having picked up six wickets and he has troubled the Afghan batters with his line and length. He?s another must pick player for your Dream 11 team. </li>



<li>Angelo Mathews- The veteran All - Rounder has been using his experience quite well as has scored 48 runs and picked up three wickets as well. He is in good form and you should definitely pick him in your fantasy team.</li>
</ol>



 Players to avoid



<ol>
<li>Binura Fernando- Fernando has been really expensive with the ball and has picked up just two wickets in two games. Your team will be better off without him. </li>



<li>Gulbadin Naib- Naib has scored just 20 runs with the bat and has failed to pick any wickets. It would be better to leave him out of the team. </li>
</ol>
