The 2022 T20 World Cup ended with the summit clash between England and Pakistan on Sunday. It was England that won the trophy and thereby, became the second team to win two T20 World Cup trophies. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of Award Winners in the T20 World Cup 2022.
A tournament to remember for the fans
T20 is a dynamic format but till now, at the T20 World Cup, it was the dominant cricketing nations that used to call the shots. However, the 2022 T20 World Cup was an eye-opener for many with regard to the performance of a few associate nations. There were a lot of upsets and one of the biggest included two-time winners West Indies not qualifying for the Super 12 stage.
The tournament also included a lot of close encounters, starting with the India vs Pakistan game on October 23rd. That game gave the necessary boost to the tournament. Some of the famous results such as Zimbabwe defeating Pakistan and the Netherlands defeating South Africa also added depth to the tournament. Overall, for the fans and the stakeholders, it was an excellent competition hosted in Australia.

England was one of the favourites to lift the trophy and they achieved it. Pakistan, after its forgettable start, came back strongly but lost in the finals. Virat Kohli stepped up and ended as the top-scorer while Hasaranga, despite some poor outings, finished as the highest wicket-taker. Sam Curran missed the 2021 T20 WC due to an injury. However, he was brilliant throughout the tournament. Ben Stokes, as expected, did well in the finals. Here are the list of award winners in the tournament:
- Winner – England
- Runners-up – Pakistan
- Most Runs – Virat Kohli (296)
- Most Wickets – Wanindu Hasaranga (15)
- Man of the Series/Player of the Tournament – Sam Curran
- Man of the match/Player of the Match – Sam Curran
