Shoaib Malik -  3

Batting allrounder shoaib malik played all 4 matches , but it was difficuilt to know what was his role in team, he didn't bowl, didn't bat well and even didn't field well. He averages 17.33 with strike rate of just 100.

Kamran Akmal  -  3

Kamran Akmal along with Shoaib malik made a come back but his performance was not that better too. He averages 12 with the bat and strike rate of 85.71. Such average and strike rate as an opener in T20 is a big failure. Addition to this not a good performance behind the stumps too.

Bilawal Bhatti  -  4

Bilawal bhatti also had a bad tournament, didn't got a chance to bat, bowled ordinary against India but leaked 30 runs against Australia really dented his career badly. 3 wickets with economy of 13.25 in 2 matches

Unfortunate player of Team Pakistan, didn't get a chance after first match, and didn't even completed his quota of four overs against india. He gave 23 runs in 3 overs.

Muhammad Hafeez  -  5

Terribly out of form in batting is skipper Muhammad Hafeez. He didn't looked in good touch with batting in any match. He averages 13.75 with strike rate of 72.36. Although his bowling was quite economical as always. He took 1 wicket and maintained an economy 6.30, best in Pakistan attack.
