Overall performance (see criteria below):
Nothing out of the way. Moeen Ali and Jason Holder are the best of a weak field.
Ali did however achieve the relatively rare feat of a fifty and 10 wickets in a match. More on that below.
Match performances (Fifty and 5wi):
The 9 instances include two each by Jadeja and Ali. While Ali and Shakib achieved the 50/10wm double, there were no instances of 100/5wi. But Sikandar Raza’a two 80s and a 5wi may rank among the best all-round performances in a losing cause. Something like a lite version of Vinoo Mankad at Lord’s in 1952.
