Quinton de Kock has launched himself clear of his rivals in the stakes to be crowned the 2023 Cricket World Cup's leading run scorer.
The Proteas batsman is joined by teammates Aiden Markram and Heinrich Klaasen in the top ten after another century against New Zealand on Wednesday, with Rachin Ravindra an ever-present despite his struggles in that game. He has edged past David Warner, who has been in superb form in India so far.
Virat Kohli's average took a hit after a rare failure against England but he smashed 88 off 94 balls in Thursday's meeting with Sri Lanka.
Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan will look to fire his country into the semi-finals, having safely seen them home against Bangladesh.
