2019 ODI World Cup: Top 5 Batsmen With Highest Strike-Rate In An Innings

In limited-overs cricket, the strike-rate is very important for the batsmen as the higher strike-rate of a batsman generally helps his team to achieve a big total. In the 2019 ODI World Cup, we experienced many higher batting strike-rates.

The 2019 ODI World Cup was hosted by England and Wales which ran from 30th May to 14th July 2019. England finally finished their waiting to win a Cricket World Cup trophy after beating New Zealand in the final of this tournament (tied in the Super Over, England won the final match on the boundary countback rule).

Here we are talking about the top five batsmen with the highest strike-rate in an innings in the 2019 ODI World Cup (at least scored 25 runs in an innings)

Jason Holder (West Indies) – 220.00 against Bangladesh at Taunton on 17th June 2019
