4. Mitchell McClenaghan: 11 Wickets @ Econ. 6.04
The fact that New Zealand don’t have any batsmen up there on the scoring cards with significant runs was their undoing in this tournament. They looked a terrific side when this tournament began, coming off a 2-1 win over the eventual finalists England. McClenaghan broke Sri Lanka’s back with a terrific spell in the only match that New Zealand were able to win in the tournament. He ended with figures of 4/43 in 8.5 overs. He repeated the performance against Australia, finishing with 4/65 in 10 overs. He is still the tournament’s highest wicket taker but unfortunately his contributions could not spell success for the Kiwis.
