T20 World Cup 2024: Rating top teams based on their fielding unit

Cricket may be a game of bat and bowl, but there is one more department that is crucial to a team's success - fielding. If a team is strong in all three departments, then they have a high chance of winning any tournament. Fielders are a bowler's best friend. They usually compliment the effort of the bowlers, but sometimes a major chunk of a particular wicket goes to the fielders for their brilliance in the field.

In T20 cricket, the batters show no mercy to the opposition and it is necessary for the bowlers and fielders to capitalize on every opportunity. A failure could cost them the game. Many teams have quality fielders in their lineup in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Let's see which is the best fielding unit in the marquee event.

10. Bangladesh

Recently, the Bangladesh team was trolled on social media after a video of five fielders running to stop a boundary during a Test match against Sri Lanka went viral. Experienced campaigner Mahmudullah has taken the most catches (50 catches in 131 matches) for The Tigers. Soumya Sarkar and all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan are brilliant on the field.

9. Pakistan

Pakistan cricket team has always been a victim of trolls and criticism for their sloppy fielding. Hasan Ali's dropped catch by Australia's Matthew Wade in the 2021 semi-final still haunts every Pakistani. In the upcoming event they should be more cautious on the field and avoid butter fingers. However, they have some excellent fielders like Shadab Khan, Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman.
