England
Jason Roy
The star of the semi-final win over New Zealand, Surrey’s right-hander has combined daring backfoot swordplay with glorious checked drives down the ground, striking 183 runs from 121 balls in a tournament that has seen England regularly scream out of the traps. 9
Alex Hales
The sole English batsman with a T20 international hundred has not fully fired in the tournament, although his opening partnership with Roy is averaging 42 at 10 runs an over, with flying starts against South Africa and New Zealand breaking the back of two run chases. 7
Joe Root
Marshalled an astonishing chase of 230 against South Africa in Mumbai when defeat would have almost certainly spelled curtains and with 195 runs at a strike rate of 145 is England’s leading scorer in the tournament, second only to India’s Virat Kohli from the Super-10 stage onwards. 9
Eoin Morgan (c)
England’s captain, the sole survivor from the title-winning 2010 campaign, has struggled with the bat, registering two golden ducks and little else to speak of. It has contrasted greatly with his ice-cool leadership in the field, as seen in the late innings suffocation of New Zealand. 7
Jos Buttler
England’s deadliest striker of the ball, Buttler has floated up and down the order this campaign. Lobbed in at No4 with 10 overs remaining against Sri Lanka, he exploded with an unbeaten 66 from 37 balls. Nine sixes to date. 9
Ben Stokes
The all-rounder’s campaign has been one of interventions, as opposed to bulging statistics, such as the win over Sri Lanka, where he smeared his only ball faced for six, ran someone out and shut down the final over with the ball. 7
Moeen Ali
Found little turn in the three matches at Delhi and yet two thrifty overs and a wicket against New Zealand were key to the squeeze. Showed his value as a lower-order insurance policy in the win over Afghanistan, keeping England in the tournament with an unbeaten 41 from 33 balls. 7
Chris Jordan
The right-armer has grown as the tournament has progressed. His four for 28 ruined Sri Lanka’s run chase to book England’s place in the knockout stages, before masterfully shutting down New Zealand’s innings alongside Stokes in the semi-final. 8
David Willey
The fiercely competitive left-armer has swung the new ball and, as a result, is the leading England wicket-taker with seven for the tournament. Having a No9 batsman with a Twenty20 century to his name can’t be a bad thing either. 7
Adil Rashid
The leg-spinner came into the tournament as the expected x-factor with the ball but has been quiet in the main, with his two for 18 against Afghanistan the highlight. Catching is an issue, while England will hope his handy lower-order batting remains unused. 6
Liam Plunkett
England’s fastest bowler and senior man, aged 30, stepped up to replace Reece Topley after the left-armer endured a pummelling in the opening two matches and has provided some assurance as their thriftiest since, going at just a shade over six runs per over. 7

West Indies
Chris Gayle
No cricketer has scored more runs in Twenty20 cricket than the self-styled Universe Boss, who travels the world as the most in-demand freelance gun for hire and could be playing his final international. Has sat ominously dormant since his unbeaten 100 against England in Mumbai. 10
Johnson Charles
The West Indies’ top-scorer with 116 runs in the competition, the muscular right-hander’s 52 from 36 balls against India in the semi-final helped recover from the early loss of Gayle and get their chase up and running. Out second ball when the teams met in the group stage. 7
Marlon Samuels
Man of the match in the 2012 final, Samuels has appeared in scratchy form in this campaign with 96 runs across five innings at just over a run-a-ball. Made all the running in a stand of 55 with Gayle against England in Mumbai and top-scored in a tight win over South Africa. 7
Lendl Simmons
Arrived in the country just in time for the semi-final against India, as an injury replacement for Andre Fletcher, and broke the hearts of a billion home supporters with his unbeaten 82 chasing down 193 to book West Indies into the final. 8
Andre Russell
Powerful all-rounder who has picked up eight wickets and has been the not out batsman in three successful run chases. Could be his last game for a while, with the Jamaican awaiting a hearing for missing three drug tests in 12 months, the sanction for which is a possible two-year ban. 9
Dwayne Bravo
Another seasoned all-rounder from the global domestic Twenty20 circuit, Bravo’s impact in the current campaign has been as a bowler, with his variations seeing him deployed at the death to shut down innings. Partial to a flamboyant celebration. 8
Darren Sammy (c)
Sammy’s sole contribution has been one wicket in the shock defeat to Afghanistan, having bowled just two overs and scored six runs in two innings. Relaxed captain, shrewd in the field and lifted the trophy four years ago. 7
Carlos Brathwaite
A giant of a man with a giant pay-cheque coming up in the Indian Premier League after this tournament, Brathwaite has been West Indies most uneconomical bowler and taken just one wicket. Hits a long ball, as seen in the final over of the win against South Africa. 6
Denesh Ramdin
The longstanding West Indies wicketkeeper has batted as high as No5 and as low as No9 in the tournament but with little impact to speak of. Glovework tidy in the main although one half of a doubly-bungled attempt to run out Virat Kohli in the semi-final. 6
Samuel Badree
The Trinidadian leg-spinner is the world’s No1 bowler in the format, with the current campaign seeing him take wickets and go at under six an over, despite bowling in the Powerplay. Jason Roy and Alex Hales negotiated him safely in Mumbai. 9
Sulieman Benn
The giant left-arm spinner has picked up just two wickets in the campaign – the first being Alex Hales, bowled, in the win over England in Mumbai – but like Badree has kept batting sides in check by going at under six runs an over. 7
