ICC Women's World T20 2016: Team of the tournament

Stafanie Taylor (Captain)

Taylor finished as the tournament's leading run-scorer

Opening the innings irrespective of the format in an art in and of itself. That is just why not everyone can open the innings. But Stafanie Taylor has not only managed to do that but also captain the side and also finish as the second-leading wicket-taker in the tournament, which is a huge testament to the player she is. So it was no surprise that she was awarded the Player of the Tournament.

A fifty in the final to guide her team to their maiden World T20 title also propelled her to the top of the run charts. Although her average of 41 is impressive, her strike rate of 93 isn't so. But her off-spin has added another dimension to the attack, especially on tracks that aid turn. And that doesn't even take into account her captaincy, which was the main reason why West Indies became world champions.
