1. Brendan McCullum
(C)
2. William Porterfield
3. Kumar Sangakkara (W)
4. AB de Villiers
5. Brendan Taylor
6. Misbah-ul-Haq
7. Mahmudullah
8. Daniel Vettori
9. Wahab Riaz
10. Trent Boult
11. Morne Morkel
12. Sean Williams

I cannot understand Guptill's inclusion. He scored a century against Bangladesh and a double against a poverty Windies side. Dhawan performed better in the matches against better opposition.

Guptill: 49, 17, 22, 11, 57, 105, 237* 34 and 15 in the Final
Dhawan 4, 73, 137, 14, 9, 100, 4, 30 and 45 in the Semi
Guptill Basically three hundreds, one 50 and a 49
Dhawan Two Hundreds, one against Ireland. one 50 and 45
Guptill's 200 was during a quarter final against a West Indies side on par with Ireland in terms of ability where Dhawan only scored 100. Guptill's hundred against a pretty solid Bangladesh side where Dhawan scored only 45 against the same opposition.
Advantage: Guptill
