The first and foremost name to appear in this list is of Mitchell Starc, who is also the current leading wicket taker with as many as 19 wickets to his name in just seven matches. Mitchell Starc is just repeating his performance from the last edition where he emerged as the highest wicket taker.

Australia have already qualified for the semi finals and look quite strong to play the finals as well which means they have quite a few matches to still play which will provide Starc with a chance of finishing at the top.

#2 Jofra Archer (England)

The second name to feature in this list is of Jofra Archer who has stood up to all the expectations that were made from him. There were a lot of speculations about his playing in this World Cup but once he started playing, there was no looking back.
