5 best players from the group stage of the ICC World T20

5) Mustafizur Rahman

The only player in this list who represents a team that failed to reach the semi-finals. The Bangladesh team is progressing at a very grand rate—and no player has had the impact like he has had so far.

Injuries might have made him miss quite a few games, but whenever he has played, he showed no signs of discomfort. In the three games that he has played during the group stages, he got an exceptional 9 wickets and conceded 86 runs in the 12 overs that he bowled.

His excellent bowling against India—especially at the death—and tormenting of the Kiwis left a significant mark on the tournament. However, the batting of the Bangladeshi players has let him down one too many times and hence his performance has gone unrewarded.

Despite all that, he remains a mysterious figure for batsmen who still can’t solve him—and his strike-rate of a wicket in every 8 balls is a testament to that fact.
