In the Asia Cup 2025, Pakistani and Sri Lankan cricketers are locked in a contest with Abhishek Sharma. The reason lies in their similar performances in the ongoing T20 Asia Cup. The common ground for this contest is the race to score the most runs for their respective teams. Abhishek Sharma is currently the leading run-scorer for India, while Sahibzada Farhan and Pathum Nissanka are the top run-getters for Pakistan and Sri Lanka, respectively. The competition among these three players is compelling, also due to the fact that they are the tournament’s top scorers.
In the Asia Cup 2025 so far, Abhishek Sharma has amassed 173 runs in 4 innings across 4 matches, maintaining a strike rate of over 208, including 12 sixes. Sri Lanka’s Pathum Nissanka is second with 146 runs in 4 innings, at a strike rate of 148.97, and 4 sixes. Pakistan’s Sahibzada Farhan has scored 132 runs in 4 innings at a strike rate of 101.53, including 6 sixes.
Nissanka and Farhan have a real chance to overtake Abhishek Sharma. Nissanka trails Abhishek by just 27 runs, with Farhan 41 runs behind. Consequently, in the match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka, both Nissanka and Farhan have the opportunity to surpass Abhishek Sharma by playing substantial innings.
