England and Mumbai Indians' combined current-best T20 XI

3. Dawid Malan

Dawid Malan averages in excess of 50 in T20Is. His strike rate is close to 150. And, in spite of playing just 19 innings in T20Is, he has already scored 855 runs and is well on his way to breaking Babar Azam’s record and becoming the fastest batsman to 1000 runs in T20I’s.

Dawid Malan has emerged as a vital cog in the arsenal of the England side with some splendid performances with the willow. In the recently concluded T20I series against South Africa, Malan won the Man of the Series award for scoring 173 runs in the three-match series at an average of 86.50.

In fact, in his last 8 innings in T20I cricket, the left-hander has scored four fifties for the England side. He will bat at No.3 in this combined XI.
