As the T20 World Cup 2024 approaches, anticipation rises for the stellar performances of top-quality pacers. With the tournament set to take place in the USA and West Indies, pacers must adapt their strategies to the conditions. Let’s dive into the top 5 pacers who could potentially change the game in the T20 World Cup.
Jasprit Bumrah (India): Jasprit Bumrah’s sensational form in IPL 2024 makes him a formidable force. Leading the wicket-taking charts with 13 dismissals and boasting a five-wicket haul, Bumrah is primed to spearhead India’s bowling attack in the World Cup.
Mitchell Starc (Australia): Despite recent fluctuations in form, Mitchell Starc remains a match-winner with his ability to dismantle batting line-ups. With his lethal swing and proficiency in the death overs, Starc is a key asset for Australia’s T20 World Cup campaign.
Shaheen Afridi (Pakistan): Pakistan’s Shaheen Afridi poses a threat with his knack for early breakthroughs and economy under pressure. His lethal left-arm pace could play a pivotal role in Pakistan’s quest for their second T20 World Cup title.
Matheesha Pathirana (Sri Lanka): Impressing in IPL 2024, Matheesha Pathirana’s 11 wickets in 5 matches for CSK highlight his impact. His unorthodox action, complemented by yorkers and deceptive slower balls, makes him a potential game-changer for Sri Lanka.
Jofra Archer (England): Despite a hiatus, Jofra Archer’s express pace remains a standout feature. Expected to return for England in the T20 World Cup, Archer’s ability to rattle batsmen with sheer speed adds depth to England’s bowling arsenal.
