T20 World Cup 2024: Rating top teams based on their fielding unit
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.
8. Afghanistan
Afghanistan's World Cup squad is a mix of both veterans and youngsters. Experienced campaigners like Mohammad Nabi and Rashid Khan are brilliant on the field, while Najibullah Zadran, Gulbadin Naib and Karim Janat are always ready to seize every opportunity. Like the 2023 ODI World Cup, the Asian team is expected to upset some favourites this time around.
7. Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka were once a leading force in international cricket across formats but lost its lustre in recent times. Their only T20 World Cup triumph came in 2014 and they are looking to have a strong campaign this time around. They have some excellent fielders like Angelo Mathews, Dasun Shanaka and Dhananjaya de Silva.
Notably, Shanaka has taken the most catches (37 in 97 matches) for Sri Lanka in the T20 format. Captain Wanindu Hasaranga and veteran all-rounder Angelo Mathews are in the third and fourth positions respectively with 27 catches.
