Brendan Taylor (Zimbabwe)
Playing in his last tournament with Zimbabwe, Taylor bowed out of international cricket with a bang.
121 against Ireland was followed up by an outstanding 138 against India.
He wasn’t given too much help by his teammates, but the Nottinghamshire-bound batsman was simply sensational on an individual level.
Glenn Maxwell (Australia)
Maxwell came into the tournament under a heap of pressure, but there’s no doubt he’s dealt well with it.
His 102 against Sri Lanka in Perth was superb and kept his critics quiet.
The Victorian’s eccentric batting style will always attract doubters, but you can’t say he hasn’t been entertaining.
Josh Davey (Scotland)
The Scotsman burst onto the international scene after taking seven wickets in his opening two matches against traditional heavyweights New Zealand and England.
Davey ended the tournament with 15 wickets from six games – impressive after considering Scotland’s lack of depth in its bowling department.
Mitchell Starc (Australia)
Like teammate Glen Maxwell, Starc came into the tournament under pressure and has duly delivered.
The NSW bowler has taken 16 wickets – the highest of any bowler in the tournament.
Trent Boult (New Zealand)
Boult’s swing bowling has left some of the world’s best batsman in all sorts.
The Kiwi quick’s partnership with Tim Southee has been the most deadly of any in the tournament so far.
His 5/27 against Australia in Auckland was simply brilliant.
Mohammed Shami (India)
Shami came into the World Cup following poor performances in the Tri-Series in Australia, but got his tournament underway with a stunning four-wicket performance against rivals Pakistan in Adelaide.
His 15 wickets at an average of just 12.60 is a sign of a bowler ready to wreak havoc on the knockout stage.
