India’s star pacer, Jasprit Bumrah managed to go top of the charts for the highest-wicket takers after he took two wickets in seven overs to finish with eight wickets in the tournament. His good economy rate along with lesser overs bowled puts him at the top when compared to the likes of New Zealand’s Mitchell Santner and Matt Henry who also have eight wickets in the tournament.
India’s spin duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav managed to break into the rankings as the pair took two wickets each against Pakistan.
Tomorrow Afghanistan will be taking on England and Reece Topley will be eyeing to take some wickets as he aims to get back into the wicket-taking charts.
Rizwan managed to get to the top of the run-scoring charts after missing out on a half-century against India. But the highlight is Rohit Sharma breaking his way to third as he continues his run of good form after he smashed 86 off 63 deliveries to crush the Pakistan bowling attack. Virat Kohli did not have the ideal outing but still remains in the top 10 charts as he sits at ninth spot in the run-scoring charts. Rohit will be aiming to recreate his tally from the 2019 World Cup and continue his run of good form in the tournament as he will be looking to lead the hosts to their third ODI World Cup, making it a win since 2011.
The next fixture between Afghanistan vs England will be an interesting one as the likes of Dawid Malan will be looking to continue where he left off as he scored 140 against Bangladesh.
