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.
4. Australia
Australia will gain superpowers when they enter any major tournament and that power will be distributed equally across all three departments. The Australians are no slouch on the field and they have some electrifying patrollers across the ground. All-rounder Glenn Maxwell and veteran opener David Warner have been phenomenal on the field. Maxi usually fields deep areas and he doesn't leave any chances. Warner, who usually fields at slip or mid-wicket, has a good success rate in the shortest format.
Travis Head, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, captain Mitchell Marsh and Marcus Stoinis are also brilliant on the field and can change the course of the game on their days. Head’s catch of India captain Rohit Sharma in the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup still haunts Team India and their fans.
3. South Africa
Fielding is in the genes of South African cricketers. The legendary Jonty Rhodes is regarded as one of the greatest fielders of all time and many Proteas players have displayed similar prowess on the field over the years. David Miller and captain Aiden Markram will be the main forces on the field for South Africa in the upcoming World Cup. Reeza Hendricks and youngster Tristan Stubbs are also strong guns in the outfield.
