ODI World Cup 2023: Ranking best death bowlers in each team
Every team will expect their death bowlers to show their nerves of steel in the World Cup 2023.
4. New Zealand- Trent Boult
New Zealand’s bowling unit looks formidable with the return of Trent Boult for the World Cup 2023. Boult played an instrumental role with the ball in New Zealand’s spectacular campaigns in the 2015 and 2019 editions of the World Cup. In the 2015 World Cup, he took 22 wickets in nine matches and ended up as the joint-leading wicket-taker with Australia’s Mitchell Starc.
This time, Boult is expected to create an impact for his team as he plays IPL consistently in the sub-continent nation. The 34-year-old is the highest wicket-taker for New Zealand in the World Cups with 39 scalps in 19 games. The veteran often gets praised for providing early breakthroughs to his team but his death bowling is also something to notice.
In the 2019 World Cup semi-final against India, Boult dismissed dangerous Ravindra Jadeja in the 48th over of India’s innings and made New Zealand’s job easy in the game. It’s not just one case, there are several matches to recount when the pacer got the better of batters in the final overs of the match. Discussing his bowling numbers in death overs, he has got 55 wickets in 67 innings at an economy of 7.16.
