T20 World Cup 2022: Best XI of the tournament
There were certain players who lighted the T20 extravaganza with their blistering performances.
11. Anrich Nortje
Anrich Nortje has been a consistent performer for South Africa in the white-ball circuit. In the 50-overs format, the 28-year-old has picked 28 scalps in 17 ODIs at an economy of 5.72. When it comes to T20Is, he has featured in 29 games and bagged 35 wickets at an economy of 7.11.
The express pacer proved to be too hot to handle at the global event as he rattled top-drawer batting line-ups with his searing pace and grabbed a total of 11 wickets in five games at a spectacular economy of 5.37. When South Africa took the stage alongside Bangladesh, Nortje was the wrecker-in-chief, bagging four wickets for just 10 runs to set up a clinical win for his side.
In the encounter against the Netherlands, the right-arm fast bowler was quite consistent with his lines and lengths and conceded just 10 runs in four overs and took a wicket. However, Nortje’s valiant show did not prove to be enough to take his team to the semi-finals.
