T20 World Cup 2024: Highest Run Scorers, Wicket Takers And Other Stats After Group Stage

The first round of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup came to an end on Tuesday as the West Indies defeated Afghanistan by 104 runs in a Group C match.

With both teams assured of a Super 8 berth, it was the two-time champions WI who displayed their batting might, amassing a formidable 218 for five, with Nicholas Pooran going on a six-hitting spree during his 53-ball 98.

Afghanistan's decision to bowl first backfired as Pooran hit as many as 8 maximums and 6 fours during his stay. In reply, Afghanistan succumbed to scoreboard pressure, managing just 114 in 16.2 overs. The hosts will face England in their Super 8 Group 2 match on June 20.

With his innings, Pooran ended the group stage as the second highest run getter in the tournament, just behind Rahmanullah Gurbaz. Despite scoring a duck against the West Indies, the Afghanistan batter is the leading run scorer in the tournament so far with 167 runs in four innings.

In the bowling department, Fazalhaq Farooqi is leading the wicket takers' chart with 12 wickets in four matches. New Zealand's veteran pacer Trent Boult is second with 9 wickets followed by Akeal Hosein.

Farooqi also hold the record for best bowling figures in an innings this World Cup with figures of 5/9 vs Uganda earlier in the tournament.
