5 Batsmen to watch out for at the Cricket World Cup

#2 Jonny Bairstow (England)

Bairstow has been in brilliant form in 2019

In each of the last two tournaments, there has been real uncertainty over the England side leading up to the World Cup. This uncertainty has often revolved around the opening batsmen and the top order, but there is no doubt about it this time around. Unless injury strikes, Jonny Bairstow and Jason Roy will open the batting, and the rest of the top order will be the same as it has been since the end of the last World Cup.

This will be Bairstow’s first World Cup, and he is in scintillating form going into the tournament. In his first IPL, playing for the Sunrisers Hyderabad, Bairstow scored an impressive 445 runs in just ten games, averaging over 50. He kept this form going in England’s ODI series against Pakistan at Bristol, scoring a brilliant hundred at Bristol. At this time, Bairstow is in the form of his life and could be someone who makes a decisive impact at the World Cup.
