He also became the first player to score two centuries in a single edition, hitting hundreds against Sri Lanka and Namibia. Although Pakistan fell short of the net run-rate needed to reach the semifinals, Farhan, alongside Fakhar Zaman, gave the team explosive starts.

Rachin Ravindra (New Zealand)
8 matches, 11 wickets, 128 runsPower-hitter Rachin Ravindra has contributed significantly with both bat and ball for New Zealand at this T20 World Cup.
