World Cup 2019: Players who won the most Man of the Match awards in the tournament

#2 David Warner (Australia) - 3 times

David Warner announced his international comeback in style

Returning after a 1-year ban, David Warner was hungry for runs more than ever. Warner, too, was monumental in his approach.

With a strike-rate of 71.88 and at an average of 89.36, Warner amassed 647 runs in just 10 innings, which included 3 centuries and 3 half-centuries, with a top-score of 166. The southpaw won his first MoM award against Afghanistan where he scored a brilliant 89 off 114 deliveries, helping Australia earn an easy win.

The Paddington-born won his second MoM against Pakistan. The left-handed opener showed his aggressive intent from the beginning and was ably supported by his partner Aaron Finch. The duo took the Pakistan bowlers to the cleaners as they raced to 146 runs in just 22 overs.

However, Finch missed his well-deserved century by 18 runs, Warner scored 107 runs off 111 deliveries as Australia managed to post 307 runs on the board. In reply, Pakistan fell short by 41 runs. His swashbuckling 166 runs off 147 balls against Bangladesh handed him his third MOM award while Australia got an easy win.

The 32-year-old was pivotal in Australia's World Cup campaign as his stupendous form helped Australia finish on the second spot in the points table. However, a shocking loss against eventual winners England shattered Australia's World Cup hopes.
