Jayawardene is WT20's Most Valuable Player

May 06, 2010 17:43 IST

It is still early days, but here's the list of the top 50 players in the ICC World T20 so far (after the silly league phase to eliminate the unfortunate minnows).

 

With matches being more low-scoring than IPL, we are assuming that a wicket is worth 16 runs. The par strike rate and economy rate is still scoring or conceding 8 runs per over.
