ICC Cricket World Cup 2019: Five bowlers who will set the tournament on fire

4. Trent Boult, New Zealand, Average- 24.63, Strike Rate- 29.0, Economy- 5.09

Fiery Trent Boult has been one of the most dominating limited over bowlers in recent times

He is one of those deadly customers of white-ball who doesn’t comfortably allow batsmen to breathe freely whenever he is around. Dapper left-arm quick, who forms the most lethal new white-ball pair with Tim Southee for the blackcaps. He is among the most exciting and remarkable talents in the world cricket. His ability to swing the ball both ways even on the unresponsive deck and control over the wrist position post delivering the ball has troubled batsmen around the world.

Apart from his bowling prowess, Trent Boult has also established himself among the outstanding fieldsmen. In recently concluded IPL, Virat Kohli fell to VIVO perfect catch of the season snaffled one-handed at the deep square leg by Boult.

His capability to bowl long spells in shorter format allows the captain to attack from one end and build up constant pressure. Decimating west-indies in Christchurch with 7/34 in 2nd ODI, paralyzing Aussies in the World Cup’15 with 5/27 in Auckland and dismantling Pakistan with 5/17 in Dunedin are some of the testaments of his craft.
