Who are the best performing players after 33 games of the 2019 World Cup? Let the debate begin….
1. AARON FINCH (AUS)
Was this guys place in the Australian team really in question six months ago?
| M 7 | I 7 | NO 0 | Runs 496 | HS 153 | Ave 70.85 | BF 477 | SR 103.98 | 100s 2 | 50s 3 |
2. DAVID WARNER (AUS)
How about this guy, highest run scorer in the tournament to date despite being booed to and from the crease each and every time.
| M 7 | I 7 | NO 1 | Runs 500 | HS 166 | Ave 83.33 | BF 573 | SR 87.26 | 100s 2 | 50s 3 |
3. JOE ROOT (ENG)
His team hasn’t lived up to expectations but it has been no fault of Root who has been one of the players of the tournament to date.
| M 7 | I 7 | NO 1 | Runs 432 | HS 107 | Ave 72.00 | BF 466 | SR 92.70 | 100s 2 | 50s 3 |
4. BABAR AZAM (PAK)
His patient century against New Zealand may prove the most vital of the tournament if Pakistan can make an unlikely run at the semi finals.
| M 6 | I 6 | NO 1 | Runs 333 | HS 101 | Ave 66.66 | BF 391 | SR 85.86 | 100s 1 | 50s 2 |
5. KANE WILLIAMSON (NZ)
With an average of 138, just like his team, the Black Caps skipper is firing on all cylinders.
| M 6 | I 5 | NO 2 | Runs 442 | HS 148 | Ave 138 | BF 532 | SR 77.81 | 100s 2 | 50s 1 |
6. SHAKIB AL HASAN (BAN)
One of the leading run scorers in the tournament, for those who didn’t already know, the 32-year-old is one of the best all-rounders in world cricket.
| M 6 | I 6 | NO 1 | Runs 476 | HS 124* | Ave 95.20 | BF 480 | SR 99.16 | 100s 2 | 50s 3 |
7. ALEX CAREY (AUS)
Might seem a surprising selection at first glance but, as the tournaments leader in dismissals and having provided important lower order runs for the Aussies, he is the right choice.
| M 7 | I 6 | NO 3 | Runs 173 | HS 55* | Ave 57.66 | BF 149 | SR 116.10 | 100s 0 | 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 7 | I 7 | O 63.5 | M 7 | R 325 | W 16 | BB 3/27 | Ave 20.31 | ER 5.09 |
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 7 | I 7 | O 64.4.0 | M 4 | R 347 | W 19 | BB 5/46 | Ave 18.26 | ER 5.36 |
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 6 | I 6 | O 56.0 | M 4 | R 286 | W 16 | BB 5/30 | Ave 17.87 | ER 5.10 |
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 four weeks.
| M 6 | I 6 | O 53.4 | M 3 | R 267 | W 15 | BB 4/37 | Ave 17.80 | ER 4.97 |
