T20 World Cup 2021: Rating bowling attacks of top 8 teams ahead of the tournament

7. West Indies

With match winners filled in this squad, West Indies are the favourites to win the T20 WC this year. But for that to happen, their bowling needs to support their six-hitting style of batting. Their bowling will be led by the highest wicket-taker in T20s, the Champion, DJ Bravo.

Their biggest strength is the fact that each player post number 4 in their batting order is quite handy with the ball. However, they don’t have a quality fast bowler to take wickets in the powerplay. The likes of Sheldon Cotrell and Jason Holder are in the mix but they tend to go for plenty of runs. Adding to that, if Hayden Walsh Jr doesn’t come good, then the spin department is an issue for them as well. 

Their death bowling is sorted with DJ Bravo bowling those slow-off cutters and good yorkers and Andre Russell coming around the wicket and bowling at the seventh eighth stump line. They must include Sunil Narine in the squad to add the much-needed experience in the spin department as he is skilled to bowl during any phase of the match which will be much needed in the coming T20 WC.
