JOFRA ARCHER (ENG)
M: 11 | WKTs: 20| BB: 3/27 | 5/Inns: 0
Jofra Archer made his debut for England just over a month ago and impressed one and all with his ability to bowl over 90mph with almost no effort. He was fast-forwarded into the side for the World Cup and the result was that he played a big role in England winning the tournament in the end. He picked 20 wickets in 11 matches, but most importantly, defended 15 runs in the Super Over against New Zealand in the final.
JASPRIT BUMRAH (IND)
M: 9 | WKTs: 18| BB: 4/55 | 5/Inns: 0
Ian Bishop during the tournament mentioned that Jasprit Bumrah was by far the best bowler in the World Cup, and he didn’t even have to pick wickets to prove that. The right-hand fast bowler managed 18 scalps in 9 matches, but his importance lied in the death overs, where he would often bring out his amazingly accurate yorker to keep the runs down to a minimum and with the new ball, moved it off the pitch and in the air as well.
MOHAMMAD AMIR (PAK)
M: 8 | WKTs: 17| BB: 5/30 | 5/Inns: 1
Mohammad Amir announced in arrival in the World cup with a tremendous spell of bowling against Australia, where he picked a fifer and gave Australia a big scare. He was by far the best Pakistani bowler and the support he got from Shaheen Afridi in the latter part of the tournament, would have made him more effective at the start, when the Men in Green lost a few close matches.
