This World Cup has seen some strong performances with both bat and bowl. We have seen matches where it was apparent that it was a bowler's tournament with those slow surfaces of the Caribbean, and more importantly, in the USA leg of the tournament. Despite bowlers shining, we have also seen batsmen using the conditions smartly to set high targets and to chase them as well.
