ICC World Cup 2019: Players who could be the 'X-factor' for their respective teams

#3. Tamim Iqbal (Bangladesh)

Tamim Iqbal is key to Bangladesh's success

Every time Tamim Iqbal scores big, Bangladesh go on to win the match more often than not. He provides good quick starts for the team that is always important whether putting up the score or chasing.

The Bangladesh team is no more a minnow in world cricket and is looked up as a genuine competition in ICC Tournaments. They reached the quarter-finals in 2015 World Cup and semi-final in the 2017 Champions Trophy only to lose to India on both the occasions.

They would look to better their record this time around and Tamim could well be the X-factor player for them in achieving this. He has been in good form recently registering 2 centuries and 5 half-centuries in the last 15 ODIs played. He can not only take the attack to the opposition but also anchor the innings when needed.

The ever-enthusiastic and passionate Bangladeshi fans would like seeing their superstar winning matches for them in this tournament.

#4. Jos Buttler (England)

Jos Buttler has been a game changer for England

The host England starts as the overwhelming favourites in this edition of World Cup. They have the players and home advantage as well. But, they would be looking for the game-changing player that can help them break the jinx this time at the World Cup.

The English team is stacked with match-winners in their squad but can look upon Jos Buttler as the potential game changer in tough situations. Buttler holds the fastest century record for England in ODIs and has finished matches for them successfully. He is also regarded as Mr. 360 in the cricketing world alongside AB de Villiers and is one of the most feared batsmen.

Buttler's ability to snatch the games from dire positions to winning them makes him a very lethal player. He is definitely the X-factor for this England side and may also help in guiding his team to their maiden World Cup title this year which they are very optimistic about.
