ICC World Cup 2019: One player from each team who might be the leading wicket taker of the tournament

#6 Mitchell Starc (Australia)

Mitchell Starc

Mitchell Starc is one of the fearsome bowlers in modern day cricket. He has the ability to swing the ball both ways and produces yorkers at a very rapid pace. The left-arm pacer was the main reason behind Australia's World Cup victory in 2015 as he picked up 22 wickets from just 8 games at an average of about 10 and an economy of less than 4.

Since the end of last World Cup, he has played 34 ODIs and picked up 62 wickets at an average of less than 25 and an economy close to 5. He has been terrific with the ball in the limited-overs format, especially in ODIs.

In the recently concluded ODI series against India, he was rested to keep him fresh for the upcoming World Cup. It won't be a surprise if he becomes the leading wicket-taker of the 2019 World Cup.
