Seven national teams took part in the round-robin league stage across 21 matches. The top four sides have qualified for the semi-finals on October 16, with the final scheduled for October 18, 2026. Three batters stood out with the bat during the league stage, and we count them down from three to one.

3. D'Arcy Short (Australia Champions)

D'Arcy Short scored 225 runs in five innings for Australia Champions during the WCL 2026 league stage, averaging 45.00 at a strike rate of 234.38. He struck 16 fours and 22 sixes across those five matches, with his 22 sixes being the highest tally among the three batters featured here.

Short's explosive hitting made him one of the most destructive openers in the tournament. Australia Champions will now face West Indies Champions in the second semi-final at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on October 16, and Short will be expected to carry his form into the knockouts.
