#4 Bilal Khan

While Jatinder Singh was churning out runs with the bat, Bilal Khan was making sure that the team got adequate wickets with the ball. Khan was the leading wicket-taker of the tournament (and needless to say for Oman too) with 18 wickets in 9 matches at an average of 12.44.

The 31-year-old claimed consecutive four-wicket hauls in the tournament; the first against Namibia, where he returned figures of 4-19 (also his best), and the second against Kenya where he finished with 4-23.

The yorker specialist would be a player to watch out for in the 2020 T20 World Cup.


#3 Paul Stirling

Ireland's Paul Stirling turned out to be the competition's leading run-scorer. With 291 runs in 8 matches at an average of 41.57, the attacking batsman lived up to the expectations quite well. Stirling's consistency was the chief reason behind Ireland earning qualification.

The right-hander scored the highest number of boundaries (35) and three half-centuries in the tournament. Stirling's best batting effort of the series was his 58-ball 72, which he scored against the hosts UAE in a losing cause.
