The ICC T20 World Cup 2026 is set for its title clash on Sunday, March 8, at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where defending champions India will take on New Zealand in what promises to be a high-voltage final.
This edition of the tournament has already produced six centuries — the most in a single T20 World Cup so far. Among them, Pakistan’s Sahibzada Farhan has scored two hundreds, the most by any batter in one edition of the tournament.
The playing conditions have offered something for every kind of bowler as well, with both pacers and spinners making an equal impact. At this stage, two spinners and two pacers share the lead on the wicket-takers’ chart with 13 wickets each.
As the race for the trophy enters its final stage, the battle for individual honours has also intensified. Keeping that in mind, here is a look at the tournament’s leading run-scorers and wicket-takers so far.

ICC T20 World Cup 2026: Top wicket-takers
