World Cup 2019: 5 fielders who saved the most runs in the tournament

#4 Jimmy Neesham, New Zealand

Jimmy Neesham took a stunning catch of Dinesh Karthik in the 1st semi-final

Just like Australia, India also did not win their semi-final match while playing against the mighty New Zealand side. One of the main reasons behind India’s loss was the power-packed bowling and fielding unit of the Men in Black. Fielding inside the 30-yards circle in the final over of power-play, Jimmy Neesham changed the whole match in New Zealand’s favour with a stunning piece of fielding.

Neesham had taken a wonderful catch to dismiss India’s Dinesh Karthik while fielding at point. The all-rounder had a great edition of World Cup 2019 as he stood 4th in the list of players who saved the most number of runs in the mega-event. He saved 28 runs in the field in just 10 matches. Jimmy saved 18 runs while fielding inside the 30-yard circle whereas the rest 10 runs were stopped in the outfield.
