T20 World Cup 2022: Best XI of the tournament
There were certain players who lighted the T20 extravaganza with their blistering performances.
9. Wanindu Hasaranga
Wanindu Hasaranga has been Sri Lanka’s mainstay with the ball in the shortest format of the game. The 25-year-old has featured in 52 T20Is and bagged 86 wickets at an economy of 6.67. The spinner has also played many crucial cameos for the side and scored a total of 473 runs at a strike rate of 120.05.
The leg spinner wreaked havoc at the T20 extravaganza, bamboozling batters with his variations. Hasaranga was the highest wicket-taker of the tournament, picking 15 wickets in eight games at an economy of 6.41. In a must-win game against the United Arab Emirates (UAE), he spun the web around the opposition and registered terrific figures of 4-1-8-3.
When the Lankan Lions locked horns with Afghanistan, Hasaranga broke their back with a three-wicket haul while giving just 13 runs in his four overs. He showed his class against a mighty England side too, and bagged two wickets while giving away mere 23 runs.
