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

#5 Australia - Glenn Maxwell

Maxwell can get innovative with the bat

Glenn Maxwell is one of the most explosive batsmen of World cricket. The 'Big Show', as he is famously called, has an ODI strike-rate of 121.64 which is a testimony of his power game. However, his modest average of 32.32 has often attracted criticism for playing recklessly.

Nonetheless, Maxwell can bludgeon any bowling attack in the world, making him a dangerous batsman. His athletic fielding and more than handy off-spin bowling also add to his effectivity as an ODI player.

#4 New Zealand - Trent Boult

Boult will be a handful for the opposition batsmen in England conditions

Trent Boult is among the most underrated cricketers in world Cricket. The Kiwi speedster boasts an amazing ODI record and can destroy any batting line-up in the World. Boult is a deadly bowler both with the new ball as well as with the old ball. Moreover, the conditions in England will suit his type of bowling.
