ODI statistical highlights 2019: Rohit, Shami share top spots in England’s World Cup year

Trophy England after winning 2019 World Cup

2019 featured a World Cup, one that culminated in arguably the greatest match in ODI history. England eventually lifted the trophy, not after the full allotted 100 overs, not even in Super Over, but for having hit the most boundaries in their stipulated 50 overs.

England also had the best win-loss ratio in 2019, followed by India, Australia, and New Zealand, who had also made it to the semi-finals of the World Cup. There was no upset, then.
