Dwayne Smith WI-C | BAT

The star West Indies batting all-rounder Dwayne Smith is currently the highest run-scorer for his team in the tournament. He has scored 79 runs in just 2 innings with an average of 39.50, including a half-century. He can be picked as one of the top captaincy picks in the fantasy team.

9
C

Ryan McLaren SA-C | ALL

South Africa all-rounder Ryan McLaren has been quite impressive both with the bat and the ball. He has scored 58 runs in 2 innings, being unbeaten on one occasion. Besides that, the 41-year-old has also scalped 2 wickets with the ball. He is at the top of both the lists of run-scorers and wicket-takers.

8.5

Ashley Nurse WI-C | ALL

The Caribbean spinner off-spinner Ashley Nurse is leading the chart of the leading wicket-takers for the West Indies. He has scalped 4 wickets in the overs he bowled across 2 innings. The former International has also a good strike rate of 7.28 in the ongoing World T20 Championship of Legends.

10.5

Jean-Paul Duminy SA-C | ALL

The veteran Proteas all-rounder JP Duminy has scalped 2 wickets in 2 innings alongside scoring 22 runs with the bat. He can be picked as one of the top picks considering his potential impact either with the bat or the ball.

9
