Select your Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Team of the Tournament
Cricket fans are invited to select their Men’s T20 World Cup Team of the Tournament as the competition reaches its climax with Sunday’s final.
The best of the best
After 54 matches of high-octane action, only New Zealand and India remain in the hunt for the trophy.
Before the Black Caps and the Men in Blue meet in the showpiece event, BBC Sport wants to know who makes your standout XI from the last few weeks of cricket.
While individual brilliance often grabs the headlines, building a balanced side requires careful selection across openers, middle-order batters, and bowlers.
Explosive starts at the top
The battle for the opening spots is fierce, with power-hitting being the theme of the tournament.
New Zealand’s Finn Allen has been destructive at the top of the order, boasting a frightening strike-rate of 203.52 across his seven innings.
He is joined in the conversation by India’s Sanju Samson, who has struck at 201.73 and averages a massive 77.33.
Pakistan may have made an early exit, but Sahibzada Farhan left his mark with a tournament average of 76.60.
Other strong contenders include South Africa captain Aiden Markram and Zimbabwe’s Brian Bennett, who have both been consistent performers for their respective nations.
Middle-order muscle and all-rounders
The engine room of the side features a mix of pure ball-strikers and versatile options who contribute with both bat and ball.
England’s Will Jacks offers a dual threat, averaging 56.50 with the bat while claiming nine wickets with his off-spin.
Another standout is Kiwi sensation Rachin Ravindra, whose 11 wickets have been crucial for the finalists, alongside a respectable economy rate of 6.88.
West Indies powerhouse Sherfane Rutherford has proved elusive to dismiss, averaging 61.00 with a strike-rate approaching 180.
Zimbabwe’s Sikandar Raza also presents a compelling case, offering experience and all-round stability with 206 runs and five wickets.
How to finalize your XI
Voters are asked to select two openers and five players to fill the middle-order and all-rounder slots.
While there is no specific category for wicketkeepers, fans must ensure a gloveman is included within their batting choices to create a functional team.
The most-voted players will be collated into the definitive Team of the Tournament.
The final XI will be revealed during BBC Sport’s live text coverage of Sunday’s final between New Zealand and India.
