Josh Hazelwood, what a bowler!!
He's very underrated bowler of our times, everyone knows he's good but doesn't get enough credit due to Cummins and Starc, even in the world stage people don't talk about him passionately as compared to other bowlers.

I have personally believed that both Starc and Cummins are overrated bowlers. Starc loses his rhythm every now and then, and in the end sprays down the ball all over the ground. Cummins rarely gets wayward, but he loses his venom when put under pressure. On the other hand, Hazlewood on most occasions maintain his composure and performs well under pressure. He is the best bowling option, when the opposition batsmen need more than 10 runs per over. Express pacers such as Starc can concede a lot of runs on such occasions, and maybe a riskier option.
Josh Hazelwood performed really well in that match. Sri Lanka was looking really good till the 100 runs that they have scored.
But after that, they just collapsed. I thought they were playing really well and they would score at least 150 or 160. And that would have given them a good chance of winning. But they started losing wickets at regular intervals.
The bowlers of Sri Lanka did not have much to do because, in the end, it was the fault of their batsman. And I honestly cannot say that Mitchell starc and Cummins are overrated. Josh Hazelwood perform really well in that match but having a good performance in one match certainly does not make him a better player than the others. Michel Stark also performed well in that match even though he was a little expensive compared to Josh Hazelwood.
