Australian bowler Michael Kasprowicz leads the Man of the Tournament standings in the ICC Champions Trophy after the completion of the Pool stage.
Kasprowicz is the only player to have picked up Man of the Tournament points in both of the matches in which he has played. He was Man of the Match against USA and was judged by the ICC Match Referee to be the second best performer in the match against New Zealand.
The semi-finals will also count towards the Man of the Tournament standings and players from all four teams left in the tournament could still overtake Kasprowicz.
Twelve different players have picked up Man of the Match awards in the opening 12 matches.
