Cricket in 2018: Flop T20I XI of the year

#5. Hamilton Masakadza

Hamilton Masakadza has been the sturdy shoulder which has carried the Zimbabwean batting for years through thick and thin. In absence of their best batsmen, the 35-year old right-hander, often, gallantly stood, facing the toughest of the challenges. However, in the year where Zimbabwe played plenty of T20I cricket, Masakadza fell short in providing stability.

Batting in the top order, Mazakadza featured in eight T20Is for Zimbabwe in 2018. These outings fetched him only 103 runs at an average of 12.87. His opponents varied from Afghanistan, South Africa, Pakistan and Australia but the Captian failed to get going. His strike rate in these eight games is only 89.56.
