Suryakumar Yadav exceptional as we look at the top 5 highest boundary percentage for the Super 12 stage of T20 World Cup 2022. 

The Super 12 stage of the 2022 T20 World Cup finished with some surprising results.

Finally, England and New Zealand from Group 1 and India and Pakistan from Group 2 qualified for the Semis.
