The Asia Cup 2023 has kicked off with the match between newly qualified Nepal and Asian giant Pakistan on 30th August in Multan which the hosts won comfortably by beating them by a huge margin of 238 runs. The tournament is being played in a hybrid model for the first time where Pakistan will organize 4 games and the rest 9 games will be played in Sri Lanka.
So far four matches have been completed while the big contest between India and Pakistan was abandoned due to heavy rain. With the presence of personalities like Virat Kohli, Babar Azam, Rohit Sharma, etc. it is inevitable for cricket fans to know who has scored the most runs in the Asia Cup 2023, let’s flourish through it.
Nazmul Hossain
Bangladeshi top-order batsman Nazmul Hossain Shanto currently leads the chart of most runs in the Asia Cup 2023. He began the campaign with a solid 89 against Sri Lanka and followed it by a spectacular 104 against Afghanistan. In 2 games, he has amassed 193 runs at a stunning average of 96.50.
Babar Azam
Pakistani skipper Babar Azam has scored the 2nd most runs in the Asia Cup 2023. In their opening game against Nepal, the ace batter exploited the inexperienced opponents and scored a magnificent 151 off 131 balls with the help of 14 fours and 4 sixes. However, in the 2nd game against India, Pakistan could not bat because of the pouring, hence his tally of runs remains at 168 in 3 games.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz
In the 3rd place on the elite tally of most runs in the Asia Cup 2023, we find Bangladeshi all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz. At an incredible average of 117, he has made 117 runs in 3 matches with the highest score of 112* against Afghanistan in Lahore.
