Records scripted by David Warner in 2019 World Cup
David Warner is enjoying a brilliant time in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2019. The opening batsman has been among the runs and is leading Australia's charge in England. Warner, who won the Orange Cap in IPL 2019, has continued to produce the grand show for the defending champions. Here are the records scripted by Warner in this edition.
Warner tops the batting chart for Australia
Warner has amassed two tons in the ongoing tourney and it's his best tally in Cricket World Cup. The southpaw now has two 150-plus scores in the World Cup. Interestingly, both these scores are the highest by an Australian batsman in World Cup cricket. Warner had scored 178 versus Afghanistan in 2015 World Cup. Against Bangladesh on Thursday, he scored a superb 166.
Warner scripts highest score in World Cup 2019
Warner (166 versus Bangladesh) has scripted the highest score in CWC 19. He went past Jason Roy and Aaron Finch's score of 153 each. The senior cricketer became the first batsman to surpass the 400-run mark in CWC 19 (447). He joined Finch in becoming the second Aussie to score 150-plus in the ongoing World Cup.
Warner surpasses 2015 CWC mark, equals Hayden
Warner is now the eighth highest run-scorer for Australia in the Cricket World Cup. He overcame Steve Smith (699). The left-handed batsman equalled Matthew Hayden's tally of three centuries in the World Cup. Warner had scored 345 runs in 2015 World Cup in eight matches. He has already surpassed that figure in just his sixth game in CWC 19.
Warner, Finch look unstoppable upfront!
Can Warner help Aussies win 2019 World Cup?
Warner's brilliance is a big plus for the Aussies at the top. Warner's return to the Aussie side was always going to be closely monitored, but he has taken the game to another level. He utilized the IPL 2019 perfectly in terms of preparation for the World Cup. The confidence gained there helped him transform that form. He is Australia's trump card.
