Who are the best performing players after 25 games of the 2019 World Cup? Let the debate begin….
1. AARON FINCH (AUS)
The Aussie skipper is having a tremendous tournament making it hard to believe his place in the team was in question during the Australian summer.
| M 5 | I 5 | NO 0 | Runs 343 | HS 153 | Ave 68.66 | BF 310 | SR 110.64 | 100s 1 | 50s 2 |
2. ROHIT SHARMA (IND)
Is it too early to crow about the fact he was our pre-tournament pick for player of the tournament?
| M 3 | I 3 | NO 1 | Runs 319 | HS 140 | Ave 159.50 | BF 327 | SR 97.55 | 100s 2 | 50s 1 |
3. JOE ROOT (ENG)
Second leading run scorer in the tournament to date, the English test skipper is one of the first picked in the team after week three.
| M 5 | I 5 | NO 0 | Runs 367 | HS 107 | Ave 91.75 | BF 368 | SR 99.72 | 100s 2 | 50s 2 |
4. EOIN MORGAN (ENG)
When you score 148 off 71, you get a place in this side.
| M 5 | I 4 | NO 0 | Runs 249 | HS 148 | Ave 62.25 | BF 182 | SR 136.81 | 100s 1 | 50s 1 |
5. KANE WILLIAMSON (NZ)
Only dismissed once in the tournament, just like his team, the Black Caps skipper is firing on all cylinders.
| M 4 | I 3 | NO 2 | Runs 225 | HS 106* | Ave 225 | BF 309 | SR 72.81 | 100s 1 | 50s 1 |
6. SHAKIB AL HASAN (BAN)
The leading runscorer in the tournament to date, for those who didn’t already know, the 32-year-old is one of the best all-rounders in world cricket.
| M 4 | I 4 | NO 1 | Runs 384 | HS 124* | Ave 128 | BF 370 | SR 103.78 | 100s 2 | 50s 2 |
7. JOS BUTTLER (ENG)
Limited Over cricket’s premier wicket-keeper/batsman has had a wonderful tournament to date. Did you expect anything different?
| M 4 | I 4 | NO 0 | Runs 187 | HS 103 | Ave 46.75 | BF 138 | SR 135.50 | 100s 1 | 50s 1 |
8. JOFFRA ARCHER (AUS)
The English quick has had an explosive start to to the tournament and will have a major role to play if his team are to win their first World Cup.
| M 5 | I 5 | O 45.5 | M 5 | R 217 | W 12 | BB 3/27 | Ave 18.08 | ER 4.84 |
9. MITCH STARC (AUS)
One of the most dangerous bowlers in the world, Starc once again finds himself at the pointy end of the World Cup wicket takers list.
| M 5 | I 5 | O 46.0 | M 3 | R 249 | W 13 | BB 5/46 | Ave 19.15 | ER 5.41 |
10. MOHAMMAD AMIR (PAK)
Bewilderingly Pakistan left Amir out of their initial World Cup squad. The batsmen of the tournament’s other teams are no doubt wishing it had stayed that way.
| M 4 | I 4 | O 36.0 | M 2 | R 170 | W 13 | BB 5/30 | Ave 13.07 | ER 4.72 |
11. LOCHIE FERGUSON (NZ)
The 28 year old, along with his fellow NZ quicks, has been on fire and deserves his place in the World Cup XI after three weeks.
| M 4 | I 4 | O 35.3 | M 3 | R 158 | W 11 | BB 4/37 | Ave 14.36 | ER 4.45 |
