England's Tom Banton
Banton ensured England's destiny for a Super Eight place remains in their own hands with a composed 63 not out in Saturday's five-wicket win over Scotland, anchoring a nervy pursuit of 153 in Kolkata.
He did so by largely forgoing the sweeps, both orthodox and reverse, that have been a signature of his stop-start international career, with the stroke accounting for six batters in the match.
