The T20 World Cup 2024, co-hosted by the USA and West Indies, concluded with India lifting the title after a thrilling final against South Africa at the Kensington Oval, Barbados. This triumph recorded India’s second T20 World Cup win; their first was achieved in 2007 under the leadership of MS Dhoni.
Though several electrifying performances graced the event, a host of bigwigs were produced at a disappointing campaign. Here follows the Flop Playing XI of the T20 World Cup 2024:
Flop Playing XI of T20 World Cup 2024
Reeza Hendricks (South Africa)
He had a piteous run throughout the tournament, with an aggregate of only 113 runs from 9 innings. His average and strike rate stood at 14.12 and 87.59, wherein he couldn’t provide a good enough start for his team.
Mohammad Rizwan (Pakistan)
This usually consistent batter contributed only 110 runs from 4 innings at an average of 36.66 and a strike rate of 90.90. His lack of impact was a big setback for Pakistan.
Mitchell Marsh (Australia)
Marsh scored 125 in 7 innings, featuring an injury, for which he contributed very little towards the campaign of Australia’s quest, and he underdid the expectations.
Kane Williamson (New Zealand)
The New Zealand captain had a nightmare with the turn of events at the tournament as he notched just 10 runs in two vital group-stage matches, which saw his team going out early.
Shivam Dube (India)
Despite high expectations, Dube scored 133 runs in 8 innings and failed to replicate his good IPL form, which contributed little to India’s title run.
Shadab Khan
The Pakistani scored 44 runs in 3 innings and went wicketless in the matches he bowled, hence having little impact with either bat or ball.
Liam Livingstone (England)
Livingstone scored 72 runs in 4 innings while claiming 3 wickets in 4 matches. He dropped his performance in vital moments and affected England’s overall outlook.
Sam Curran (England)
Curran, who had a dazzling previous T20 World Cup, could manage only 3 wickets in 5 matches, way below the required level as he could not lead England’s bowling attack.
Mitchell Santner (New Zealand)
Santner took 4 wickets in the tournament but also struggled to take the big wickets whenever it was needed, though he did maintain a good economy rate.
Matheesha Pathirana (Sri Lanka)
Pathirana took 3 wickets in 3 matches and failed to replicate his IPL success depot to flop when his team needed him the most.
Mitchell Starc (Australia)
Starc took 5 wickets in 5 matches but had a particularly disastrous over against India, going for 29 runs, which really put a lid on his inconsistent form throughout the tournament.
These players contributed well below par to expectations and had an overall effect on the teams’ chances, leaving their fans and expert analysts disappointed with their total contribution in the T20 World Cup 2024.
