ICC World Cup 2019: One player from each team who might be their X-factor

#7 Sri Lanka - Thisara Perera

Perera appealing for a wicket

Thisara Perera has been around for a long time now but he has been highly inconsistent. However, he was exceptional with both the bat and ball in 2018. Even though the Sri Lankan is struggling to put up a decent performance, Perera has been in sensational form.

He began 2019 with a bang when he almost pulled off a miraculous victory against New Zealand by smashing 140 runs off 74 balls. The all-rounder's presence in the Sri Lankan side will make the opposition take Sri Lanka seriously.

#6 Pakistan - Fakhar Zaman

Fakhar Zaman came into limelight after an eye-catching display in the 2017 Champions Trophy. The opener then went on to become the quickest batsman to reach 1000 ODI runs. Zaman has the ability to take the attack to the opposition and has given brisk starts to the team.
