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

3. South Africa

South Africa is one team that lacks firepower in their batting but has one of the most well-equipped bowling lineups ahead of the T20 WC this year. Kagiso Rabada, one of the best bowlers in the world, will be leading the bowling for the Proteas. He will be super excited to play in the UAE as he was the highest wicket-taker (30) in last year’s IPL which was also held in the UAE. 

His fellow teammate, Anrich Nortje also picked up 22 wickets in last year’s IPL. They were the reason why Delhi Capitals ended as the runners-up last IPL. They also have the current number 1 ranked T20I bowler, Tabraiz Shamsi who is in great form and is likely to end up on the highest wicket-taker list in this year’s T20 WC.

Lungi Ngidi is a good bowler who often goes for runs but has a knack for taking wickets frequently. The Proteas should include Chris Morris and Imran Tahir in their squad especially if they have a good IPL. Tahir and Shamsi can be a force to reckon with in the middle overs. Morris can fill the much-needed all-rounder spot who can tonk the ball and bowl during any phase of the match. If these changes are made, the Proteas are fully equipped to restrict the best teams in the world to a modest total in this year’s T20 WC.
