ICC World Cup 2019 statistical round-up after tournament: England cricketers dominate charts

England after winning 2019 World Cup

England lifted their first World Cup after somehow scraping past New Zealand by the narrowest possible margin in the most intense of finals. As for the statistics, they feature in almost every chart, including most runs and wickets.

Interestingly, the top five in batting averages do not include Englishmen. Three low-scoring knockout matches led to both Williamson and Rohit dropping below Shakib.
