How the Black Caps rated

New Zealand’s quest for a World Cup fell short again on Wednesday as they were bundled out of this year’s T20 tournament by Pakistan. Here’s how the New Zealand players rated at the tournament:

Finn Allen: 95 runs at a strike-rate of 186.27, average 19. Looked poised to spark New Zealand towards a title when he took to the defending champions in the opening game, but his high-risk approach saw him face just 51 balls in the tournament. The coaching staff won’t want to tamper much with his tactics, but batting through the powerplay will bring far greater dividends. 5 Devon Conway: 145 runs at a strike-rate of 116.93, average 36.25. Brilliant against Australia, but that accounted for almost two-thirds of his tournament runs. Appeared to struggle for fluency during the powerplay in his last two matches. His missed chance to catch Babar Azam was a massive setback in the semifinal. 5.5

Kane Williamson (captain): 178 runs at a strike-rate of 116.33, average 35.60.

Some will say he was forced into conservative knocks against England and Pakistan because of the match situation and quality of opposition bowling. Others will argue the Black Caps never discovered what they were capable of due to his tempered approach. The answer likely lies somewhere between. 5.5

Glenn Phillips: 201 runs at a strike-rate of 158.26, average 40.20.

Sensational against Sri Lanka and also excelled versus England Entered the semifinal in a pressure position and didn’t stay around long enough to change that. Outstanding sparkplug in the field. 7.5

Daryl Mitchell: 109 runs at a strike-rate of 128.23, average 54.50.

Missed the opening game while recovering from a broken finger, mixed efforts on return but stood up once more in the heat of a semifinal. 6.5

Jimmy Neesham: 53 runs at a strike-rate of 143.24, average 17.66.

Faced only 37 balls the entire tournament – even the best innings closers, of which he is one, would struggle to impose himself with those limited opportunities. Never got to bowl. 5

Mitchell Santner: Nine wickets at an economy-rate of 6.45, average 14.33; 27 runs at a strike-rate of 168.75, average 27.

Unobtrusively excellent. Most wickets, best economy rate and best average among the NZ bowlers. Quick runs when called upon against Sri Lanka and England. 8

Ish Sodhi: Six wickets at an economy-rate of 6.72, average 21.66. 7 runs at a strike-rate of 100, average 7.

Very good against England, tidy versus Pakistan without being able to make the breakthroughs the quicks couldn’t manage in the powerplay. 6

Tim Southee: Seven wickets at an economy-rate of 6.57, average 16.28. Five runs at a strike-rate of 166.66, no average. Started off sensationally against Australia and Sri Lanka but couldn’t break or restrict the opening partnerships of England or Pakistan. 6.5

Lockie Ferguson: Seven wickets at an economy-rate of 8.36, average 22.71.

Came in short of a gallop and struggled for consistency throughout. 4.5

Trent Boult: Eight wickets at an economyrate of 7.40, average 18.50.

Same as his long-time partner-in-crime, looked a million bucks in ripping through Australia and Sri Lanka. Got taken to by England and Pakistan. 6.5

Mark Chapman: Played one match, did not bat nor bowl. N/A

Did not play: Adam Milne, Michael Bracewell, Martin Guptill.
