T20 World Cup 2022: Best XI from Super 12 Week 1
There are certain players who have been at their best in the first week of the T20 extravaganza
8. Sam Curran
Sam Curran has simply been brilliant with the ball at the T20 carnival in Australia. The 24-year-old has been the highest wicket-taker of the first week of the competition bagging seven wickets in two games at a terrific economy of 6.15.
Curran wreaked havoc with the ball when England clashed with Afghanistan picking five wickets for just 10 runs in 3.4 overs. With this splendid performance, he became the first England bowler to take a five-wicket haul in T20Is. The ace all-rounder then went on to take two wickets in the encounter against Ireland.
The left-arm pacer’s outstanding showings have enabled Jos Buttler to play an extra batter in the XI with Curran slotting in at No.8. Though the southpaw has not yet got a chance to showcase his skills with the bat, he is a capable batter, and strikes at 136.44 in the T20I circuit. Thus, his inclusion helped England extend their batting lineup.
