Bowlers: Jofra Archer, Mitchell Starc, Mohammad Amir, and Imran Tahir

England v West Indies - ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

Match - 1, Wickets - 3, Economy Rate - 3.33, Maiden - 1

England's newest fast bowler, Jofra Archer has been impressing every cricket fan with his extraordinary performances in the Cricket World Cup. His fairytale run continued in the game against Windies as well where he picked 3 wickets in his spell of 9 overs.

Archer conceded only 30 runs whilst dismissing the well-set Nicholas Pooran, hard-hitter Carlos Brathwaite and tail-ender Sheldon Cottrell.

Sri Lanka v Australia - ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

Matches - 2, Wickets - 6, Best Figures - 4/55, Maiden - 1

Australian left arm quick, Mitchell Starc was the leading wicket-taker of the previous World Cup and it seems like he is no mood of relinquishing that title. Starc has been too hot to handle in this tournament and his performances in the previous week have solidified his position as the best left-arm fast bowler of the world at present.

Starc picked a 4-wicket haul against Sri Lanka and played a vital role in his team's win only three days after he picked 2/43 in the match versus Pakistan.

Australia v Pakistan - ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

Matches - 2, Wickets - 8, Best Figures - 5/30, Maidens - 3

The lone bright spot for Pakistan in this World Cup, Mohammad Amir was the highest wicket-taker of the third week of Cricket World Cup 2019. Amir's pace helped him take a 5-wicket haul against Australia in a losing effort.

A few days later, his disciplined performance versus team India earned him praise from all corners of the world but unfortunately his side failed to capitalize once again.

South Africa v Afghanistan - ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

Match - 1, Wickets - 4, Economy Rate - 4.14, Maidens - 0

South Africa's leg-spinner, Imran Tahir is the sole spinner in this team as he performed better than his counterparts in the other teams. Tahir's leg-spin got the better of Noor Ali Zadran, Asghar Afghan, Gulbadin Naib and Rashid Khan in quick succession during South Africa's match versus Afghanistan.

12th man: Dimuth Karunaratne
