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

4. Australia

With a traditionally pace-dominated attack, Australia is no different this time around as well. The pack of the three fast bowlers, namely Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood is so good that they are a no-brainer pick for them in all formats. The Aussie bowling attack will be led by a player who gives in 100% in each ball he bowls, Pat Cummins.

The supreme quality with the new ball in the powerplay and the death overs is assured by these fast bowlers. Adam Zampa, their current highest wicket-taker in T20Is will be an asset during the middle overs period to take wickets and choke batsmen for runs. Ashton Agar, who is currently the 7th ranked T20I bowler, will operate alongside Zampa but may not be as effective as he doesn’t look to spin the ball often.

All-rounders like Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Marsh and Marcus Stoinis can chip in with some quiet overs. So, teams will look to target those particular four overs bowled by different players. The Aussies haven’t tasted success recently with losing 4-1 to the mighty West Indies and a humiliating 3-2 loss against Bangladesh. But don’t expect the same from a fully strengthened and motivated Aussie squad who will come hard at all teams during the T20 WC.
