#3 Hashim Amla
Even in the crucial do-or-die clash against India where their batsmen were falling like nine pins, Hashim Amla was one of the few that stood stall. Just as he did in the opening game when he scored a century against Sri Lanka to ensure that South Africa got off to a winning start to the tournament.
The 34-year-old, who came into the tournament having just broken Virat Kohli's record of being the fastest to 7,000 ODI runs, showed his class once again as he finished as the side’s leading run-getter. Still, his 154 runs at an average of 51.33 weren't enough as South Africa, the No. 1 ranked ODI team in the world, were knocked out of the tournament by India, and Pakistan, who beat them in a rain-curtailed match, went through in second place.
