T20 World Cup 2022: 5 Records that can be broken in the tournament
The upcoming T20 World Cup 2022 might see many individual records getting shattered.
3. Lasith Malinga’s record as leading wicket-taker as a pacer in T20 World Cup in jeopardy
The Sri Lankan dominance has made a mark as far as individual performances are concerned in T20 World Cups. Former pace spearhead Lasith Malinga is the leading wicket-taker in the history of this competition as a pacer with 38 scalps to his name from 31 matches played from 2007 to 2014 at an economy of 7.43.
Star Australian speedster Mitchell Starc has a good chance of going past Malinga’s tally. Starc (24) only needs 15 more scalps to his tally in order to get the job done. Senior New Zealand pacer Tim Southee is behind the Aussie with 22 wickets.
Mitchell Starc finished as the leading wicket-taker of the 2015 and 2019 editions of the ODI World Cup and another good outing in the upcoming edition of the World T20 in his own backyard can be a perfect chance for him to rewrite history.
