Indian skipper Rohit Sharma stands third on the list with 217 runs in his three outings, while South African batsman Quinton de Kock comes in fourth with 209 runs.
Kushal Mendis rounds off the top 5 run-getters on the list despite his cheap dismissal to Adam Zampa on Monday as he lost his wicket after scoring just 9 runs. The Lankan captain has a cumulative total runs of 207 at the event in the subcontinent.
Most Wickets:
The fight for the top spot in terms of most wickets by a bowler at the Blue Ribbon tournament is proving to be a matter of fine detail as three bowlers have scalped 8 wickets each.
New Zealand bowler Matt Henry tops the list, followed closely by compatriot Mitchell Santner and Indian strike bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who each have 8 wickets to their name.
Pakistani bowler Hassan Ali, who has managed to claim 7 wickets so far in the tournament comes in at No.4 on the list, succeeded by Dilshan Madhushanka’s count of 6 wickets, as he managed to claim 3 wickets on Monday against Australia.
The focus shifts to the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala as South Africa is scheduled to take on the Netherlands on Tuesday in their third encounter of the ICC headline tournament.
