Shadab or Buttler. Want Shadab to win but Pakistan to lose. Don't think these two things can happen at the same time https://t.co/cxXRwRggC8

The disrespect to Nortje is unreal. Man took more wickets at a better economy than any other bowler. https://t.co/DwbSdiu7JM

They have literally jumped the gun on this one. Surely let's say hypothetically Rizwan scores a 100 or big in the final. Wouldn't that give him a shout since he would also have scored a important 50 in the final and it would also break him into the top 3 run scorers. https://t.co/1mQquIXKZZ
