Jofra Archer (ENG)
12 wickets in 5 matches with best of 3/27 at economy of 4.84
Jofra Archer came into the tournament with much hype over him, but he has justified all of that with 12 wickets in 5 matches and some intimidating bowling at opponents. Archer has shown why he was rated so highly by those who have followed his career and England has benefitted from having two bowlers who can go over 95 mph with ease and make batsmen uncomfortable, with Archer being one of them.
