Sri Lanka captain Farveez Maharoof has been joined by teammate Chamith Kulasekara and the tournament's top-scoring batsmen Shikhar Dhawan at the top of the Man of the Tournament standings at the ICC U/19 Cricket World Cup.

All three have improved their points tally in the Super League stage but they have only a one-point cushion ahead of Nepal's Shakti Gauchan.

This quartet are among seven of the top nine to play for one of the five Asian teams in the tournament.

Pakistan is the only unbeaten side in the tournament and with three players in the top nine it fittingly has more players near the top of the standings than any other team.

England all-rounder Samit Patel is a new name near the top of the list after hitting an unbeaten century in the victory over New Zealand in England's opening Super League match.
