A bit top heavy, but with this many allrounders and that much depth in bowling and batting, who cares?
Honourable mentions: Dar (Pak), A Kerr (NZ), Brown (Aus), Ghosh (Ind), Lanning (Aus).
No Indian players, despite their semi-final run. No-one was particularly consistent. Mandhana had a couple of decent innings and some poor ones but wasn't as good as Healy, Mooney or Wolvaart at the top of the order. Kaur, Verma, Sharma all had a bit of a shocker. Renuka Singh did ok, but not well enough to force out one of the players I've picked.
In fact, it's between Kaur and Katherine Sciver-Brunt for biggest let-down of the tournament.
