2019 World Cup: 3 seamers to keep an eye on for every team

In the 2019 Cricket World Cup that starts on 30th May, the warm conditions and dry tracks in England are set to make life really hard for seam bowlers. While it is pretty evident that batsmen will find it comparatively easy to score runs, the captains will be looking at their main bowler's bowl cleverly to deceive batsmen and keep them under pressure.

This year's World Cup is presumed to observe some high-scoring run fests given the flat pitches in England of late. The experts have even predicted that 350 might be a par score with bat, and there will be occasions where teams will put cross the 400 mark.

Ever since the concept of two new balls in One-Day International cricket has been introduced, the competition has shifted massively in favor of the batting side. The Quicks have failed to generate reverse swing which is a big threat in the armory of the fast bowlers in the death overs.

So, we take a look at three fast bowlers will pose a threat to the batsmen in England during the World Cup.

#3 Mitchell Starc

Mitchell Starc was in incredible form during the 2015 ICC World Cup in Australia and New Zealand where he was named the "Player of the Tournament'' after taking 22 wickets in the tournament. The left-arm quick is a senior bowler and will have to play a major role along with the likes of Pat Cummins and Nathan Coulter-Nile in Australia's attempt to defend the cup.

Starc has been sidelined with a muscle injury since the second Test against Sri Lanka in Canberra. He has undergone a lot of surgeries and fitness issues in the last few years and also has lost the accuracy with which he used to intimidate the batting side. Hence, he is someone who the cricketing fraternity are going to have an eye on.

#2 Jasprit Bumrah

Recently, Sachin Tendulkar called Jasprit Bumrah as the 'Best bowler in the World' in limited overs cricket. It is hard to argue with that statement. Without a doubt, Bumrah will be the backbone of India's bowling attack at the 2019 World Cup.

Bumrah would definitely be Virat Kohli's go-to-man in crucial circumstances. The right-arm quick proved his worth in the recent edition of the IPL by picking up 19 wickets and helping the Mumbai Indians lift the title. Ever since making his debut for India in 2016, Bumrah has picked 85 wickets in One-Day International cricket.

The 25-year-old is currently the number one ODI bowler in the ICC Ranking and is also known as a death-overs specialist. His unusual action, along with his expertise to generate some serious pace makes it extremely tough for any batsman to score runs of him.

#1 Kagiso Rabada

Kagiso Rabada has been South Africa's go-to man ever since he has arrived on the scene in international cricket. The way Kagiso Rabada handles pressure situations and picks up wickets at any stage of a match makes him one of the best in the world. The tall quick's credentials were known the world ever since he took a hat trick on his debut.

Rabada played an important role in Delhi Capitals entering into the playoffs as he managed to pick up 25 wickets in the 12 games he played. A back niggle forced him to be ruled out of the tournament towards the end and clearly had a big impact on his franchise.

The South African skipper, Faf du Plessis, could open the attack with Rabada with a new ball to get some early wickets or use him as a partnership breaker during the middle overs. Not to forget, the 23-year is extremely potent in the death and someone even the best batsman struggle against.
