World Cup 2019: The best player from each department

Best Bowler: Mitchell Starc

Mitchell Starc took 27 wickets in 2019 WC

As expected by many, the pitches in England suited pace bowling and under overcast conditions, the pacers enjoyed a terrific tournament, considering the fact that there was no spinner who featured in the list of the 'Top 10 wicket-takers' list at the end of the tournament.

Mitchell Starc finished as the leading wicket-taker from the tournament, with a total of 27 wickets from just 10 matches in this edition of the World Cup, six more wickets than his nearest competitor in New Zealand’s Lockie Ferguson.

The 29-year-old lad from New South Wales proved why he is rated highly as one of the best fast bowlers in the tournament with two five-wicket hauls and an equal number of four-wicket hauls. He made batting seem difficult for some of the best batsmen with some serious pace and accurate line and length.

Starc's 5/26 against a strong New Zealand side was one of the standout performances from the pacer, apart from his 5/46 against West Indies. One of Australia's best bowlers in recent times, Starc's fine form was one of the bright sparks in Australia's World Cup campaign.
