However, the underperformance of the team’s so-called all-rounders proved costly. Shadab Khan scored just 118 runs and took 5 wickets in the tournament, while captain Salman Ali Agha managed only 60 runs and a single wicket across 7 matches.
Mohammad Nawaz contributed 15 runs and 6 wickets in 7 matches, and Saeem Ayub took 6 wickets but scored only 70 runs as an opener.
