Azmatullah Omarzai of Afghanistan has been a standout campaigner. But in ODIs in 2024, he was the gold standard among all-rounders in the tournament, scoring the second most runs and taking the most wickets for the underdog Afghan team. In just 12 matches, he has scored 417 runs and taken 17 wickets.
He began the year beautifully, scoring 149* (115) against Sri Lanka in Pallekele, followed by two similarly crucial runs — 86* (50) and 70* (77) against South Africa and Bangladesh, respectively. His wicket-taking was more constant, as he had two consecutive four-wicket hauls against Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.
