Known for his powerful hitting and providing crucial breakthroughs with the ball, Maxwell was an invaluable figure for the Aussies. Unfortunately, he put up a horror show in both of the departments.

While he did maintain an impressive strike rate, he couldn't rack up much-needed runs for his side and ended up squandering his wicket more often than not. Maxwell registered a total of 177 runs in 10 matches averaging only 22.12. The 30-year-old was a disappointment in the bowling department as well, going wicketless in the entire tournament.

#6 Sarfaraz Ahmed (Pakistan) (C &WK)

Skippering this side would be Pakistan's wicketkeeper-batsman Sarfaraz Ahmed. While Pakistan's batting lineup remained a concern throughout the tournament, their skipper Sarfaraz couldn't inspire the team with consistent performances either.

Though he notched up modest runs in the initial phase of the tournament, he seemed to have completely lost his touch going forward. Sarfaraz managed just 143 runs in 8 matches and averaged 28.6.
