The Asia Cup T20 tournament is remembered for its run-scoring and match-winning innings, but at the same time, there are some players who have made an embarrassing record of being out on ducks several times in this tournament. In cricket parlance, this is called a “duck” and getting out for a duck in a big tournament like the Asia Cup is disappointing for any player.
Mashrafe Mortaza – Bangladesh
Former Bangladesh captain and fast bowler Mashrafe Mortaza played Asia Cup T20 in 2016. He played 5 matches in this tournament and had to return to the pavilion 3 times without scoring any runs. Despite being a bowler, the team had expectations from his batting, but this record of being out on zero was added to his name.
Charith Aslanka – Sri Lanka
Asia Cup 2022 proved to be very disappointing for Sri Lankan young all-rounder Charith Asalanka. He played 4 innings in this tournament and was out on zero twice. His batting average was only 2.25. Many questions were raised against him for not living up to the expectations.
Asif Ali – Pakistan
Pakistan’s middle order batsman Asif Ali is known for his big shots, but in the Asia Cup 2022, he also became the victim of a duck twice. Although he had scored a total of 41 runs, his name has been included in this list due to consecutive zero outs.
Kusal Mendis – Sri Lanka
Kusal Mendis batted brilliantly in the Asia Cup 2022 and scored 155 runs, but still, he was out twice without opening the account. Mendis had scored two half-centuries in the tournament, but along with his good performance, a record of “duck” was also recorded.
Nizakat Khan – Hong Kong
Hong Kong all-rounder Nizakat Khan played 6 matches in the Asia Cup from 2016 to 2025. During this period, he also returned to the pavilion on duck twice. This was disappointing for the Hong Kong team as they faced a shortage of big batsmen.
