When we thought we knew that who are going to be this year’s World Cup semi-finalists, they surprised us with their performance to give their team a chance. This is the beauty of the game called Cricket, when you suddenly see a performer who just changes the momentum of the game. Here are BalleBaazi’s Dark Horses in ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.
Lasith Malinga

When Lasith Malinga was getting trolled for his physique, he was bowling those lethal Yorkers in the nets. Probably he took the trolling to heart and answered his critics by single-handedly defending a paltry score and creating problems for strong contenders, England. We guess that it was Malinga who derailed England who are now finding themselves in a thick soup. Malinga was awarded the Man of the Match for his game-changing 4-43.
Haris Sohail

We all know how the India vs Pakistan match fared for our neighbours. From Sarfaraz yawning to Pakistan’s dismal performance, the internet got a lot to topics to talk on. Guess the only guy who wasn’t having the ‘burgers and pizzes’ was Haris Sohail. Called back in the squad after a disappointing first match, Haris Sohail played a marvelous inning of 89 from 59 balls against South Africa. His knock was also crucial in handing New Zealand their first defeat in World Cup 2019. The man has turned it around for Pakistan and the uncanny similarity between 1992 and 2019 is starting to scare other competitors. What are your thoughts? Do you think Pakistan can do it? Drop your comments.

Neesham is yet to make a name for himself in the world of cricket. He makes it to our list because of his gritty knock against Pakistan yesterday, which showed that New Zealand can depend on him in case things go south. They are already looking like a formidable side with many stars in the team. Stealing the limelight from them is a difficult job but Neesham has done it with finesse. Will luck favour him the next time? Will he propel the Kiwis to win their first ever World Cup? It remains to be seen.
Mohammed Shami

When you are called up to join India’s squad, you better grab the opportunity with both hands because it won’t come again. Shami knew that exactly and when he was handed the last over, against Afghanistan, he showed the world that with focus, you can do anything. Shami is going through a rough patch in his life but he is dedicated to ensure that it doesn’t affect his game.
