The move has worked wonders for England as the pacer has jolted the opposition batting with some serious pace and bounce. Operating with the new ball and later in the death overs, Archer's consistency has been a shining point in the hosts' campaign in this World Cup.

Under pressure, Archer has picked up 17 wickets in just nine games and is the second highest wicket-taker in the tournament. England’s bowling became even more dangerous with the addition of Archer and they have certainly found a star for the future.
