Week Four Roundup

The semi-finals on Wednesday and Thursday promise to be an exciting watch, with England facing New Zealand in a repeat of the 2019 fifty-over final, before Australia take on Pakistan and their 100% record in the tournament thus far. Of the players still in the running, Babar Azam is now firmly in the lead as top run-scorer, though Jos Buttler is just twenty-four runs behind, while Mohammad Rizwan would be back in contention with a semi-final half-century. The final four aren't quite so well-represented in the hunt for wickets, though Adam Zampa and Trent Boult are tied on eleven scalps behind Wanindu Hasaranga, who'd be disappointed if his sixteen-wicket haul - a new record at a T20 World Cup - doesn't hold out at the top for the plaudits it deserves.
