While batsmen dominated the Asia Cup 2025, some bowlers kept the run rate in check and played a crucial role for their team with their economical bowling. Economy, or bowling average, is considered crucial in the T20 format. So let's take a look at the bowlers who bowled the most economically in this year's Asia Cup.
1. Azmatullah Omarzai (Afghanistan) - Economy 4.71
Afghanistan fast bowler Azmatullah Umarzai bowled 7 overs in just 3 matches, conceding just 33 runs. He also took 3 wickets, with a best performance of 1/4. Economy rates under 5 are rare in the T20 format, and Umarzai has secured the number one spot with an impressive economy rate of 4.71.
2. Abrar Ahmed (Pakistan) - Economy 5.36
Pakistani spinner Abrar Ahmed took six wickets in 26.4 overs in seven matches. His economy rate was 5.36, which is considered excellent for a spinner. His best performance was 2/13. Abrar put pressure on the opposition batsmen by restricting runs in the middle overs.
3. Rashid Khan (Afghanistan) - Economy 6.08
