3. Jos Buttler runs out Steve Smith-
Buttler nutmegged Steve Smith in the second semi-final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. This was as important as Dhoni’s run out in the first semi-finals. Steve Smith was the only batsman that really got going for Australia in the semi-final and in the final overs, he was run out by a brilliant throw from Buttler which went through his legs.

4. Shimron Hetmyer runs out Najibullah Zadran-
The scorecard might read Najibullah run out by Hetmyer, but Chris Gayle, without touching the ball had a huge part to play in the run out. Gayle, who is not known to be athletic, ran all the way behind the ball to create confusion and the Hetmyer, running in from the deep did the rest.
