World Cup 2019, England vs West Indies: 5 players to watch out for

#4 Jofra Archer

Jofra Archer

Jofra Archer has constantly had the spotlight on him in the World Cup 2019. Commentators have marveled at his ability to bowl 150kmph with apparently little effort.

Archer also has extra bounce to go with his pace. He can bowl nasty bouncers, as Hashim Amla found out in the tournament’s first match.

Amla was hit on the helmet by a bouncer and had to go off for a concussion test. The batsman was so ruffled that he had to sit out of South Africa’s next match versus India.

Archer picked up figures of 3-27 from the match.

The 24-year-old also picked up three wickets against Bangladesh (England’s third match). Archer bowled a 153kmph ball during the match.

The bowler will look to use this express pace to knock over the West Indies top-order on Friday. But Archer does not rely only on pace. He will aim to get wickets in the middle overs too with his array of slower balls and yorkers.
