World Cup 2019, Week 4: Best playing XI of the week

Middle Order - Virat Kohli (c), Kane Williamson and Eoin Morgan

Virat Kohli essayed a good knock against Afghanistan

Match - 1, Runs - 67, Fours - 5, Sixes - 0

Virat Kohli played a fantastic knock against Afghanistan on a difficult batting track. On a crumbling pitch that saw the Afghanistan bowlers strike at regular intervals, Kohli ensured that he stayed at the crease and brought out a wide array of strokes.

On the captaincy front, Virat Kohli did commendably well to rotate the bowlers and pile pressure on the Afghanistan batsmen in a crunch match that brought out the best of his captaincy skill as well.

West Indies v New Zealand - ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

Matches - 2, Runs - 254, Fours - 23, Sixes - 2

Kane Williamson has looked in some scintillating form in the last two encounters. The Kiwi skipper scored two hundreds in the fourth week of the tournament. Williamson notched up one of the best knocks of the tournament, a 106* run knock that helped NZ get across the line against South Africa.

In the game against West Indies, Williamson played the role of an anchor as his 154-ball 148 run knock took New Zealand to 291-8 from 50 overs from a situation of 0-2 in the first over.

England v Afghanistan - ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

Matches - 2, Runs - 168, Fours - 6, Sixes - 17

Eoin Morgan notched up the the best-ever inning of his career during his team's World Cup match versus Afghanistan. In a record-breaking 71-ball 148 run knock, Morgan hit 17 sixes and shattered the record for the most sixes in a single ODI innings.

Although Morgan could not replicate his brute knock against Sri Lanka with just 21 runs off 35 balls, the England skipper earns a spot in this team for his fantastic knock.
