Chandan Khatri: Took 2-3 and 3-11 in the two matches he played on day four, as well as scoring 27* from 14 balls against Sigtuna.
Zubair Abbas: Having already been excellent with the ball in the first few games, he hit 34 from 18 balls in the win against Sigtuna on day four.
Maqoos Badar: Four wickets in the last two matches, for not very many runs, highlighted his bowling credentials and should earn him a place in this semi-final.
