World Cup: Pacers who can end up as top wicket-takers
Pacers have done an able job in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2019. The top wicket-takers in the tournament so far are the fast bowlers. Pitches in England and Wales are more suitable for batting, but one should give credit to the bowlers for stepping up. Here we look at pacers who can end up as the top wicket-taker.
Lockie Ferguson has bowled with a lot of energy
New Zealand's Lockie Ferguson is known as someone who can generate great pace. The Kiwi fast bowler was entrusted with a job and so far he hasn't let the team down. Most importantly, he has bowled at an economy-rate of 3.88. He has taken eight wickets so far and leads the wicket-taking charts. He will be tested against the top sides though.
Mitchell Starc has led the bowling quartet for Aussies
Mitchell Starc was top class in the previous edition of the World Cup and the left-arm pacer has started from where he left off. Starc, who has top quality attributes, is excellent with his swing and yorkers. He hardly gives anything away. The speedster has already taken seven wickets so far that included a match-winning five-wicket haul against the West Indies.
Jofra Archer is England's main weapon with the ball
Number one team England are known for their batting, with the bowlers playing a supporting role. But the 2019 World Cup favorites have a much composed bowling now with the presence of Jofra Archer. The promising pacer bowls real quick and can surprise batsmen with his variations. He has looked strong so far and the wickets have come (6). Archer can take England far.
Bumrah can help India gain momentum
Jasprit Bumrah started the 2019 World Cup in a strong fashion and kept the Proteas batsmen at bay. The right-arm fast bowler has seen his stock rising since a while now. Bumrah hit the deck hard against South Africa and got two crucial wickets upfront. His consistency and astounding economy-rate will help the Indian cricket team gain momentum. Confidence is riding high for JB.
Mohammad Amir is Pakistan's trump card
Mohammad Amir has found some much needed form. The left-arm pacer has been Pakistan's best bowler in business so far. Amir has taken five wickets up till now in two matches. He has made quite a difference at the death. Amir looks at his best when he takes wickets and that will be his focus as the tournament progresses.
