Asian Games 2026: Top 3 wicket-takers
From a dominant Afghan spinner to India's match-winner in the final, these three bowlers stood out across the tournament.
1. Arab Gul Momand (Afghanistan) - Five wickets
Arab Gul Momand finished as the leading wicket-taker of the Asian Games 2026 men's cricket competition, claiming five wickets across two matches at a bowling average of 4.20. He conceded just 21 runs from 7.2 overs and recorded one four-wicket haul during the tournament. Afghanistan played two group-stage matches, beating Japan by 48 runs on September 24, 2026, with Afghanistan posting 129/6 against Japan's 81 in 19.3 overs.
In their other group game, Afghanistan were restricted to 102/7 in 20 overs and lost to Nepal by five wickets, with Nepal reaching 103/5 in 17.2 overs. Despite Afghanistan's early exit, Arab Gul's economy and wicket-taking ability made him the standout bowler of the competition.
