Cricket World Cup 2019: The X-Factor for each  team in the tournament

#4 Kagiso Rabada (South Africa)

Rabada is South Africa's strike bowler

Playing his first World Cup in what has been a young, blissful career so far, the leader of the South African pace attack is one of the few names who will put the World Cup on fire. A sheer pace-machine, Kagiso Rabada is one of the most lethal bowlers going in the world right now.

At a bowling average of 26 and an economy under 5, opposition batsmen are in for a tough time when it comes to countering the pace and bounce of Rabada. There is no doubt as to why Wisden named him the Best Young Player in 2018. The Proteas would hope for him to remain fit throughout the tournament if they intend to get rid of the Chokers tag that has been haunting them since long.

#3 Shakib-Al Hasan (Bangladesh)

Shakib is the Vice-Captain of the Bangladesh Cricket Team

Bangladesh will rely on the services of Shakib-Al Hasan, the No.2 all-rounder on the ICC ODI Rankings, to have a successful summer in England this year. A consistent performer for Bangladesh, Shakib would want to put his best foot forward in their attempt to seize the coveted trophy.

Bangladesh will have to believe that this will be their best chance so far in their long history to win the World Cup, as their squad comprises of a fine blend of experience and 'young blood'.
