Top 5 Best Bowlers In The World In T20Is in 2024: T20I cricket continues unstoppably these days. Over the past few years, rarely has a month of cricket not involved teams competing in the shortest format of the game.
Talking about 2024, this year included the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, which was played in June in the West Indies and the USA. The Rohit Sharma-led Team India emerged victorious in this campaign, running unbeaten throughout the competition.
While T20Is are mostly about batsmen dominating the bowlers, the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 was an anomaly as it was dominated by the bowlers, given the pitches in the competition were helpful to all kinds of bowlers.
In this article, we will look at the five best T20I bowlers in the world, including fast bowlers and spinners, in 2024.
Top 5 Best Bowlers In The World In T20Is in 2024 (Full Member Nations Only)
5. Adam Zampa
Australia leg-spinner Adam Zampa has continued to assert his status as arguably the best spinner in the world in white-ball cricket currently. In 2024 so far, Zampa has picked up 29 wickets, the most by a spinner, in 18 outings at an average of 19.34 with a best of 4/12. He has two four-fors in the year so far.
4. Fazalhaq Farooqi
Fazalhaq Farooqi was a key player in taking Afghanistan to the semi-final of the T20 World Cup. He finished the tournament as the joint-leading wicket-taker with 17 wickets at an average of only 9.41 and an economy of 6.31. So far in 2024, he has taken 24 wickets in 16 games with one five-wicket haul and one four-wicket haul.
3. Shaheen Afridi
Pakistan left-arm speedster Shaheen Afridi has bagged 32 wickets, the most by any bowler in the world at the moment this year, in 18 T20I matches at an average of 15.71, with a best of 4/30. Shaheen has had an uninspiring year, in which Pakistan were knocked out in the group round during the T20 World Cup.
2. Jasprit Bumrah
Jasprit Bumrah is unarguably the best fast bowler in the world right now, across formats and perhaps in each format as well. He has played only 8 T20Is this year, all of which were during India’s triumphant campaign in the T20 World Cup in June. There, he took 15 wickets at an average of 8.26 and an economy of 4.17. This effort helped him bag the Player of the Tournament award.
1. Arshdeep Singh
Arshdeep Singh has been a highly successful T20I bowler for India this year. In 14 T20Is in 2024 so far, Arshdeep has snared 28 wickets at an average of 12.96 and an economy of 7.14 with a best of 4/9. He was the joint-leading wicket-taker during the T20 World Cup with 17 scalps at 12.64 apiece. Arshdeep is one of the best fast bowlers in T20Is.
