CWC 2019: COC presents the Best XI of ICC World Cup

England became the champions for the first time ever.

BEN STOKES (ENG)
M: 11 | Runs: 465 | Ave: 66.42 | 100s: 0 | 50s: 5 | WKTs: 7| HS: 89

Ben Stokes | GettyBen Stokes won the Man of the Match in the final of the tournament for his 84* and then his runs in the Super over. Moreover, he also picked 7 wickets as well, but another of his best innings came against Australia when he made 89 but failed to get the team through. Stokes put to rest the shadow of the 2016 World T20 finals. He also picked the catch of the tournament against South Africa in the first match itself, a one-handed wonder at the boundary.


SHAKIB-AL-HASAN (BAN)
M: 8 | Runs: 606 | Ave: 86.57 | 100s: 2 | 50s: 5 | WKTs: 11| HS: 124* | BB: 5/29

Shakib-Al-Hasan | GettyShakib-Al-Hasan had a tournament to remember for ages as he was the premier contender for Man of the tournament award for his 606 runs and 11 wickets which included 2 centuries and a five-wicket haul. His two centuries came in two consecutive matches, as Bangladesh downed West Indies and gave a fight to England. His other important innings was against South Africa as he made 75 runs.


MITCHELL STARC (AUS)
M: 10 | WKTs: 27| BB: 5/26 | 5/Inns: 2

Mitchell Starc | GettyMitchell Starc was not in form coming into this tournament as he had not picked many wickets in the series prior to the tournament. However, he came good when it mattered the most, picking 27 wickets in 10 matches with the best bowling of 5/26 and two five-wicket hauls and as many four-wicket hauls. Starc was there for Finch whenever the captain needed a wicket and his yorker delivery to remove Stokes in the league match at Lord’s might be the ball of the tournament.
