The ICC T20 World Cup 2026 is heading to the business end, with the semifinals set to begin from Wednesday, March 4. The tournament has witnessed some great team efforts, along with multiple individual brilliances.
 
In the 2026 edition, four centuries have been scored so far, which is the highest in any single edition of the tournament. Out of the four centuries, two have been scored by Pakistan’s Sahibzada Farhan, which is also the highest by any batter in one edition.
 
From USA’s Van Schalkwyk to Blessing Muzarabani, their bowling has shown that the increased number of teams are not just for show but mean business.
 
 
As the battle for the trophy intensifies, the race for individual honours is also reaching its final stage. Keeping all this in mind, let’s take a look at the leading run-scorers and wicket-takers of the tournament so far.
