In a West Indies batting order that was erratic, to say the least, Lewis was among the few to go from strength to strength regardless of the outcomes.

Having endured a tough start to the campaign that saw him register a combined knock of only 17 runs in the second and third group game, the 26-year old upped the ante thereafter, striking half-centuries in three of the next four games.

The last of which came against Scotland in the decider, has to be his most important of the trio as a knock of 66 helped his side gain a measure of stability when big hitters Chris Gayle and Shai Hope fell for a duck as West Indies went from 3 for 2 in 3 overs to 123 for 2 in 31.

With one game still to go, Lewis currently stands as the most prolific run-getter in the squad with a total of 289 in seven outings at a strike rate of 80.95, although he might be given a break in the final encounter with the job already done.
