14 voters this round, but still 42 players got votes. Going forward, it's going to be even closer I assume. 3 players got 35 points and two even the same no. of votes. Among those two, Ravindra Jadeja and Younis Khan, Younis gets ahead as I have votes for Jadeja and not him.
Here's the result:
Here's the Top 80:
