5 Bowlers to watch out for in Asia Cup T20 2016

The upcoming Asia Cup T20 2016 promises to be an entertainment affair. While most look at the tournament as a preview to the World T20, it presents an opportunity for all sides to test their bench strength. India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and the United Arab Emirates will contest the premier Asian tournament. The tournament also presents the perfect opportunity for the bowlers to find their feet prior to the World T20. That said, here is a list of the bowlers to watch out for in the Asia Cup T20 2016.

1. Mustafizur Rahman:

The 20-year-old pacer has been the face of the Bangladesh pace bowling unit since 2015. Hailing from modest roots, Mustafizur will be a crucial factor in Bangladesh’s Asia Cup campaign. Mustafizur played a key role in Bangladesh’s series wins over India, South Africa, and Pakistan. In addition, he also boasts of an economy rate of 5.45 in the 7 T20Is played. However, most of Mustafizur’s performances have come against Zimbabwe. Whether he can perform against the best in Asia on the T20 level remains to be seen.
