At the top of the ICC Fielding Impact Ratings, we find Australia’s Marnus Labuschagne and David Warner. These ratings are a collaborative effort with Sportradar.
Australia has once again proven their dominance in the cricket world by clinching the 2023 Cricket World Cup. This victory adds another feather to their cap, which already boasts wins from 1987, 1999, 2003, 2007, and 2015.
Glenn Maxwell, another Australian cricket star, secured the ninth position in the ratings. Australia’s fielding prowess, coupled with their bowlers’ sharp performance, helped them keep their opponents’ scores in check. This strategy was particularly effective during the knockout stages, enabling Australia to successfully chase down targets.
