Jasprit Bumrah

Match - 2, Wickets - 7, Best Figures - 4/55, Maidens - 3

Jasprit Bumrah destroyed Bangladesh and Sri Lanka with his pace bowling skills to ensure that the Men in Blue occupy the top position in the points table. The Gujarati fast bowler picked a 4-wicket haul before dismissing 3 Sri Lankan batsmen to emerge as the highest wicket-taker of the week for India.

He will be the team's vital cog in the semifinal against New Zealand as well.


Shaheen Afridi
Shaheen Afridi

Match - 1, Wickets - 6, Economy Rate - 3.82

Pakistani fast bowler Shaheen Afridi got his name on the Lord's Honours Board thanks to his 6-wicket haul in Pakistan's final group match. The left-arm pacer outclassed the Bangladeshi batsmen with his fast bowling in the second innings.

Bangladesh's batting line-up was in great form heading into that fixture but Shaheen's deliveries proved to be very dangerous for them.


Mustafizur Rahman
Mustafizur Rahman

Matches - 2, Wickets - 10, Best Figures - 5/59, Maiden - 1

Another Asian left-arm fast bowler to feature in this playing XI is Bangladesh's Mustafizur Rahman. The talismanic left-armer picked 2 five-wicket hauls in the final week of the first round, however, both of them went in vain as his side failed to win a single match.

Nevertheless, Mustafizur finished as the second most successful bowler in the group stage of ICC World Cup 2019 on the back of his 2 five-wicket hauls.


Kemar Roach
Kemar Roach

Match - 1, Wickets - 3, Economy Rate - 3.70, Maidens - 2

West Indian pacer, Kemar Roach completes the best playing XI of this week on the back of his clinical spell versus Afghanistan. Roach took 3 wickets for 37 runs in his 10 overs. He did not feature in the West Indies playing XI against Sri Lanka but he troubled the Afghan batsmen when he received a place in the team.

12th Man - Angelo Mathews
