A huge amount of cricket has been played last week - with 5 players in action on Friday alone....but who prevailed in the battle for number one spot this week?
Weekly Top 5
1. Moeen Ali - 328 - He played 4 games of BPL 2022 cricket this week which will always help boost the score - but he went big in two of them to give him his second highest score of all time and the highest score of 2022 thus far.
2. Mohammad Rizwan - 249 - Is in phenomenal form in PSL 2022 and is averaging 84.22 points a match. Seems an unstoppable force at the moment. Will be a frightening prospect in the T20 World Cup.
3. Babar Azam - 213 - Played double the amount of cricket this week than the other two PSL 2022 players on our List and finishes in a decent third place finish. Could have done better you feel. a
4. Quinton De Kock - 183 - Another Top 5 finish thanks to weight of games more than any huge performances. It does mark his third Top 5 finish for the year so far. Mr Consistent.
5. Glenn Maxwell - 182 - In a year of ups and downs for Maxwell, his 182 is something of a middling yield. He rounds off the top 5 for the week with a comfortable gap between himself and Rishabh Pant in 6th who got under half the points Maxwell did.
Yearly Top 5
1. Moeen Ali - 944 - If you are in second place and score 300+ points it is very likely you will take top spot - and such was the case for Moeen. He is the fourth person to take the Number One baton in 2022.
2. Mohammad Rizwan - 758 - Up 4 places and making his debut in the Top 5. And you cannot begrudge him of it with the way he is playing.
=3. Rishabh Pant - 730 - Down two places after his week at the Top Spot. He was below par this week despite his match winning knock against West Indies on Friday.
=3. Glenn Maxwell - 730 - Retains third place this week (but has to share it with Rishabh Pant) thanks to his last two performances in Aus v SL. Has only spent 1 week outside the Top 5 in 2022.
5. Quinton De Kock - 704 - A third consecutive week in 5th spot despite all the mayhem around him. Something of a gap opening up between the Top 5 and the chasing pack too. There is 157 points between him and Babar Azam in 6th.
Other Movers
The gap between 10th and 17th is very tightly packed with nobody more than 34 points away from their nearest rival. This means that a fairly inconsequential score can see big movement. This was the case with Travis Head; up 3 to 13th despite just 56 points.
Top 3 Averages
1. Simon Harmer = 263
2. Mohammad Rizwan= 189.5 (Up from 169.67)
3. Moeen Ali = 188.8 (Up from 154)
Moeen's jolly good week sees his, already very good, aveage swell by 34.8 points leaving him with the third highest average this year. Pat Cummins' average takes another hit. After going down by 65.83 last week, it has shrunk a further 26.92 this week.
