This week marks the start of the T20 World Cup....not that you would know it. The average points scored by all active players per week is 1324. This week only 459 points were scored.
We will only do a Top 3 this week because if we did a top 5 we would have to include Jadeja and Mitch Marsh who scored 14 points.
Weekly Top 3
1. Marnus Labuschagne - 198 - Our underwhelming list this week is topped by Labuschagne who has had an underwhelming year. Even his score of 198 seems tainted by the fact that he played 3 T20 Blast games and flopped in 2 of them.
2. Babar Azam - 64 - Pulled a Kohli this week; impressing individually whilst being in a trainwreck of a team. 44 runs with 20 Strike Rate points will not make up for a loss to America in the World Cup.
3. James Vince - 55 - Vince started the year with some stellar showings in the BBL and the ILT20....but can't reproduce that in the T20 Blast. 35 runs with 20 Strike Rate Points against Kent sees him finish third for the week.
Overall Top 5
1. Babar Azam - 2521 - Finished second for the week and edges his lead over half a thousand points again. This is his 16th week in first place.
2. Chamari Athapaththu - 1989 - Inactive for a month but still manages to keep a hold of the second place berth she has now been in for 5 weeks.
3. Yashasvi Jaiswal - 1962 - Unselected in India's victory over Ireland and unused in their warm-up game against Bangladesh. Still keeps hold of 3rd place for a 5th Week.
4. James Vince - 1787 - Continues to impress this year despite modest scores since his return to England. This is his second week in 4th spot.
5. Ravindra Jadeja - 14 - Just 14 points in India's opening victory against Ireland but no score board pressure from below him. Buttler is 103 below him.
Ones To Watch
The narrowest gap is between Daryl Mitchell and Simon Harmer in 13th and 14th. Just 12 points between two players competing in two very different T20 competitions.
