The seventh edition of the ICC T20 World Cup promises to be a cracking affair once the Super 12s start from Saturday onwards. Looking at the warm-up games for the sides already in the Super 12s, things look interesting. Players will be keen to settle down and absorb pressure once the action starts. Remember, four teams, qualify for the semis (two each from Group 1 and 2) from the Super 12s. Consistency will be key and delivering the goods in the latter stages will hold importance. Over the years, we have had some top players stepping up in the final and showcasing their attributes. They have gone on to win the Man of the Match award in the final. On the same note, we present the players who won the prestigious award and shined on the big day.
