Finishers play a very important role in the limited overs format for their respective teams. A good finisher can be a difference between a team scoring around 250 or around 300. They have the job to propel the innings forward after the start which the top order has given the team.

Playing as a finisher in the batting lineup is one of the toughest position to bat in. They do not get many deliveries to settle in and most of the time they are expected to start hitting boundaries from the first ball they face.

We'll see a lot of these world-class finishers in the Asia cup 2018 which is set to start in few days. So here we look at the list of top 4 finishers in this Asia cup 2018.
