By IndiaExpress Bureau

Superstar Sachin Tendulkar is just one man of the match award away from becoming Man of the 2003 Cricket World Cup.

The Indian maestro has already won three man of the match awards so far.

Releasing details of those competing for the Man of the Tournament award, the ICC said in a statement that with only three matches of the tournament remaining, Tendulkar, the leading run scorer in the tournament so far, is four points ahead of Sri Lankan opening batsman, Marvan Atapattu and fast bowler Chaminda Vaas.

Tendulkar has 12 points for picking up three man of the match awards, nine points for top-scoring with 81 against Zimbabwe, 152 against Namibia and 98 against Pakistan. He has added on a further two points for top-scoring with 97 against Sri Lanka and one for his half century against Holland.

Sachin has already overtaken Javed Miandad to hold the highest aggregate of World Cup runs and has become one of two players along with Mark Waugh to have accumulated four centuries.

Apart from Atapattu and Vaas, the only other players who can catch Tendulkar are Indian captain Sourav Ganguly and Sri Lankan captain Sanath Jayasuriya, who have seven and six points respectively.
