His scores progressed from a cautious start to a dominant finish: 22 against Namibia and 24 against Zimbabwe, before a spectacular turnaround in the knockouts. He smashed 97 not out against the West Indies in a virtual quarter-final, followed by 89 against England in the semi-final and a decisive 89 against New Zealand in the final.
