ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2020: Best XI from the tournament
In the end, Australia showed their dominance and defended their title yet again.
6. Shashikala Siriwardene
When you look at the Sri Lankan stats for this tournament, there is hardly any notable performances barring Shashikala Siriwardene who was very good with the ball. The 35-year-old all-rounder didn’t have the best of starts to the tournament as she went wicketless and was out for a duck.
However, she came back strongly, especially with the ball. She returned with figures of 2/20, 1/42 and 4/16 in the next three games to end the tournament with seven wickets. Siriwardene also announced her retirement ahead of Sri Lanka’s final group stage game against Bangladesh. She signed off in style as she picked up four wickets.
7. Hayley Jensen
While all the spotlight was on the likes of Sophie Devine, Amelia Kerr and others, Hayley Jensen was quietly going about her job. The seam-bowling all-rounder looked in very good rhythm throughout the tournament. She picked up seven wickets at an average of 10.42.
She had a couple of excellent games where she picked up three-fers. Jensen started the tournament with 3/16 against Sri Lanka and took 3/11 against Bangladesh to put in a couple of match-winning performances. She bowled an economical spell against India but struggled against the Aussies. However, overall, she had a good tournament.
