These four teams have been in a class of their own, with several players stepping up their game in the tournament. From power-hitting batters to lethal bowling performances, the Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2024 group stage has had plenty to offer to cricketing fans. After the conclusion of the group stage, let's have a look at the top three performers who have set the standards in the group games. #3. Rasikh Salam (India A) The young medium pacer from Jammu and Kashmir has been a revelation for India A in the Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2024. The 24-year-old has been one of the best feel-good stories in Indian cricket, battling back from a two-year ban, injury problems, and poor form to finally establish himself as a top-level pace bowler for the Men in Blue. Salam has taken six wickets in the three group-stage matches, including a three-wicket haul against the United Arab Emirates. He has maintained an economy rate of less than 8, which is more than acceptable in the shortest format #2. Dushan Hemantha (Sri Lanka A) Bowling all-rounder Dushan Hemantha has been in unreal form at the ongoing ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2024. The 30-year-old leg spinner has been lethal with the ball, taking 10 wickets in the three group games. His six-wicket haul in the losing effort against Afghanistan A was one of the highlights of the tournament. Hemantha's player-of-the-match performance in the final group game against Bangladesh A, where he took three wickets for 23 runs, was a major reason for Sri Lanka A's qualification to the knockout stages. #1. Sediqullah Atal (Afghanistan A) Afghanistan has found a world-class top-order batter in 23-year-old Sediqullah Atal. The southpaw, whose international experience has been limited to just six T20I appearances so far, has been on fire in the ongoing Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2024. In the three group games, Sediq Atal has scored 83 (46 balls), 95 (55 balls), and 52 (41 balls), leading the run scorer list with 230 runs. While scoring the big innings, Atal has maintained a stunning strike rate of 161.97 and an average of 115. Irrespective of what happens to Afghanistan A at the knockout stages, it will be a shocker if Atal does not make his way to the full international side as a result of his ongoing performances.
