With Roma Cricket Club eliminated from the tournament, any of the batsmen from the four semi-finalists could go past Navodh Kalansuriya and emerge as the highest run-scorer of the Rome T10 League 2020.
Most Wickets
Basharat Ali of Brescia Cricket Club and Dinidu Marage of Roma Cricket Club, with 8 wickets each, have emerged as the highest wicket-takers of the Rome T10 League 2020 so far. Ali occupies the top spot on the list due to his superior strike rate of 6.00.
Ali has a best bowling effort of 3/9 and has an acceptable economy rate of 8.62. Marage has a spell of 3/5 as his best bowling performance and has a slightly higher economy rate of 9.60.
Zahid Ali of Janjua Brescia Cricket Club occupies the third spot in the list of highest wicket-takers in the Rome T10 League 2020. He has 7 scalps to his name in the four matches he has played. Ali has figures of 3/22 as his best bowling performance but has been quite expensive, having conceded an average of 11.28 runs per over.
With Dinidu Marage having played his last match in the tournament, Basharat Ali and the other bowlers from the four semi-finalists would be fighting it out to finish at the top of the highest wicket-takers list of the Rome T10 League 2020.
