England

- Joe Root – 7 – Some doubt over his captaincy, but a crucial 62 not out secured the win.
- Harry Brook – 8 – Leading run-scorer with 215 at 53.75, his mature knock of 75 was a highlight.
- Dan Lawrence – 7 – Batted well (65) and has a decent average of 46.75, boosting his winter tour prospects.
- Jamie Smith – 6 – Kept well and contributed with half-centuries, but an injury disrupted his second innings.
- Gus Atkinson – 5 – Initially wicketless, but took three wickets late in the game.
- Jofra Archer – 8 – Aggressive bowling, including a superb dismissal of Saud Shakeel.
