Laced with defining individual performances, the T20 World Cup Qualifier again proved the quality among the top teams in the emerging game.
To determine the Emerging Cricket T20 World Cup Qualifier MVP, our match reporters were asked to award points to three difference-making players in each match. The player of the match received three points, with second and third players receiving two points and one points respectively.
As an indication of the quality among the players at the tournament, 93 players across the 14 teams polled points.
Despite being a perhaps controversial omission from our Team of the Tournament when he was beaten out by JJ Smit, Norman Vanua’s individual performances were enough to slingshot him to the top of the MVP leaderboard with Nitish Kumar, who polled nine points across three matches, coming in second.
