His 4/19 against New Zealand was a fast bowling masterclass as he snapped up the crucial wickets of Glenn Phillips and Finn Allen.

2. Sherfane Rutherford

His unbeaten 68 came off 39 balls with 2 fours and 6 sixes to pull the home team out of trouble and take them to 149 runs. Afghanistan bowlers will be wary of the threat the 25-year-old can bring with the bat. His big hitting talents against the spinners will be one to watch out for.

1. Akeal Hossein 

The left-arm spinner is a threat with the ball and his economical bowling makes it difficult for batters to target him. Akeal Hossein will bowl to Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran after his amazing form in the last two matches. After picking 5/11 against Uganda, Hossein bowled 4 overs against the Kiwis and picked 1/21 to help his side win the match.
