Quinton de Kock 8 (above)
He was arguably SA's best player at the tournament, scoring a total of 243 runs (average 27 and strike rate of 140). His best scores were 74 (US), 65 (England), and 39 (India, final). He'll be upset he didn't make his good start in the final count, getting out to a shot he'd hit for four the ball before and after India had moved a fielder to the same position on the field. He took six catches and made two stumpings.
Reeza Hendricks 3
Sadly the opener, who's been in such prolific form over the last few years, had a tournament to forget. He scored just 113 runs at average 14 and a strike rate of 87. While he scored a solid 43 in the one-run win over Nepal in pool play and 29 not-out in the semifinal against Afghanistan, his other scores were disappointing, and all under 20 runs. Five times he failed to get past 10.
Aiden Markram 5
The SA captain led the team superbly and made excellent decisions on the field, but in his primary job as batter he failed. He scored just 123 runs at 15 in nine matches with a highest score of 46 against the US. His next highest score was 23 not-out against Afghanistan in the semifinal. His other seven knocks all produced under 20. He bowled in five matches and picked up two wickets.
