3 Afghanistan Players Who Can Be The Man Of The Match:

Hazratullah Zazai:

Hazratullah Zazai is one of the powerful strikers of the cricket ball and he can hit some lusty blows at the top of the order. The 23-year-old has a strike rate above 155 in the T20 internationals and his unbeaten 162 is a testimony of the skills he possesses with the bat.

Zazai’s consistency has been a big question mark at times but he is one of the impact players on the side and Afghanistan will depend on him to provide good starts. He can take the game away from the opposition quickly if he gets his eye in and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the first game against Scotland.

Mohammad Nabi:

Mohammad Nabi is rated to be one of the best all-rounders in the limited-overs format as he can make a big impact with both bat and ball. The Afghanistan skipper does have the responsibility of leading the side as well and the 36-year-old has a strike rate of above 145 in T20 internationals.

Nabi usually bowls in the powerplay and gives nothing for the batsmen to take advantage in the powerplay. He becomes a bigger threat when the pitches start offering spin and it could be the case in UAE for Nabi. He will certainly be one of the contenders for the man of the match against Scotland.

Rashid Khan:

Rashid Khan is one of the best limited-overs bowlers going around in the world and he can make a big impact for the side in terms of wicket-taking abilities. The leg spinner averages 12.6 with the ball and his economy rate has been brilliant as well.

He can bowl in different stages of the game and he is coming from a back of a good IPL season for the Sunrisers Hyderabad. He has the ability to win games on his own and he is the X factor for any team he plays. He will be one of the players to watch out for in the first game against Scotland.
