#2 Babar Azam (Pakistan)

Babar Azam is Pakistan's leading run-scorer in the ongoing World Cup 2019 with 378 runs in seven innings at an average of 63. Following him is Mohammad Hafeez, who has 226 runs from seven games. One of his best knocks is when he scored a phenomenal hundred against New Zealand in a run-chase which was a tricky ask for his side.
Whenever Babar has scored 40+ in this World Cup, Pakistan has won the game. In short, Babar Azam's proficiency with the bat in hand has dictated each game's outcome. Having scored the only century in Pakistan's campaign thus far, Azam has two fifties but will be keen on converting his start against Bangladesh.
Azam made an 80-ball 69 against South Africa, a 66-ball 63 against England and could be a key feature of Pakistan's final league stage game against Bangladesh.
