T20 World Cup 2022: Rating bowling attacks of Super 12 teams
The T20 extravaganza in Australia saw an even contest between bat and ball, and bowlers had their say more often than not.
9. Netherlands - 6.5/10
The Netherlands’ lion-hearted bowling displays against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Namibia in the First Round earned them the right to share the stage with the teams belonging to the upper echelons of cricketing circles in Super 12. And the bowling unit did a good job in the Super 12 as well.
Paul van Meekeren and Bas de Leede were the best bolwers for the Netherlands. Meekeren bagged 11 wickets in eight games at an economy of 6.38 whereas de Leede picked 13 scalps in eight games at an economy of 7.68. Other bowlers such as Fred Klaassen and Brandon Glover too stepped up on different occasions, bagging eight wickets and seven wickets in the tournament respectively.
The Netherlands seamers were central to their historic win against South Africa. Defending 158 against a formidable Proteas batting line-up was not an easy task. But Klaassen (4-0-20-2) and Glover (2-0-9-3) put on a show with the ball to help the Netherlands script an upset for the ages and knocked Temba Bavuma & co. out of the competition.
