Ishtiaq Ahmad was the highest wicket-getter in the recently concluded Challenger’s Cup, picking up 12 wickets in just 23 overs. He averaged 100 fantasy points per game.
In the same tournament, Zainul Abidin and Atif Ur Rehman bagged eight wickets each, which helped Saudi Arabia bowl out their opponents cheaply in each match.

Virandeep Singh has been Malaysia’s top run-getter as well as top wicket-taker over the last 12 months. He has scored 623 runs at 36 and picked 20 wickets to average 70 fantasy points per game.
