11. Lockie Ferguson:
9 matches 21 wickets; It has been a special tournament for Lockie Ferguson. The way he dealt with the best batsmen in the world and the way he troubled the batsmen with his pace, bounce and those slower deliveries were a treat to watch.
Without any further considerations, he would walk into the best XI of the tournament. Ferguson was instrumental in helping New Zealand reach the final of the tournament and get as close to the trophy as possible. Whenever his team was in trouble, Ferguson was handed over the ball and he didn’t disappoint.
Matt Henry looked the part, Trent Boult was always the favourite, but it’s Ferguson who emerged as New Zealand’s highest and the competition’s second-highest wicket-taker. And is there a better bowler who has bossed the middle overs at this World Cup?
