Cricket is often referred to as a batsman&#8217;s game, and for good reason—the many benefits batters enjoy across the board. Batters have access to everything, from shorter boundary ropes to significantly bigger bats. Even so, it is said that good batsmen win you matches but good bowlers win you tournaments.

The reason behind the saying is that a batter must face the bowlers throughout the game, but as for the bowlers, just one lucky delivery can work the magic and win the game. Because people are more excited by fours and sixes than by bowlers throwing dot balls and hitting the stumps, cricket has become more biased in favor of the batsmen as T20 competitions have grown in popularity.

This year&#8217;s ICC <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/5-players-from-the-west-indies-t20i-series-who-might-not-get-picked-for-t20-world-cup-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">T20 World Cup</a> is scheduled for October in Australia, and there will be bowlers of the highest calibre on display. To acquire pivotal wickets for their respective teams, they will strive to give their best and outwit the batters. On that note, let us have a look at the best possible bowling attack of the top eight teams that have qualified for the global event-

The best possible bowling attack of all qualified teams-

8. England- Reece Topley, Adil Rashid, Chris Jordan, David Willey

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-671723" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Reece-Topley-2.jpg" alt="Reece Topley" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-671723" class="wp-caption-text">Reece Topley.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/eng-vs-sa-khaya-zondos-error-in-judging-the-ball-during-a-practice-match-costs-him-his-wicket-at-a-crucial-point/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">England </a>is a team that is known for possessing an attacking mentality with both the bat and the ball right from the first ball. In the recent few games, England&#8217;s bowling attack has emerged stronger than their batting lineup.

It is nearly impossible for captain Jos Buttler to fill the void left by the setback of their finest bowler, Jofra Archer. As a result, Chris Jordan and Adil Rashid, the team&#8217;s top wicket-takers currently, will be in charge of their bowling.

Reece Topley and David Willey, for example, would cover new ball bowling and keep the opposition batters in the mix of seam and swing, respectively. The former, especially, has become a regular face in the team recently and is known for providing the side with the early breakthrough in the powerplay.

7. New Zealand- Trent Boult, Lockie Ferguson, Tim Southee, Matt Henry

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-575180" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Trent-Boult-1.jpg" alt="Trent Boult" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-575180" class="wp-caption-text">Trent Boult. (Photo by Alex Davidson/Getty Images)</figcaption>

New Zealand is a team that, despite never appearing to be as formidable on paper as other teams, consistently overpowers them. The team has been making it to the knockouts almost every time in the past few championship games but is taken aback by the barest of margins.

A team&#8217;s success depends greatly on its bowlers, but it also demands a skipper who truly understands when to deploy which bowler, and the Kiwis are unmatched in this regard. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/trent-boult-released-from-new-zealand-crickets-central-contract/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trent Boult</a>, one of the world&#8217;s best swing bowlers, leads Kane Williamson’s bowling attack.

They have a comprehensive pace bowling attack with Lockie Ferguson bowling over 145 km/h, and Matt Henry bowling full, thereby remaining consistent over 140 km/h. The experienced Tim Southee will bring in his outswingers in play and lead the attack from the front.

6. South Africa- Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Keshav Maharaj, Tabraiz Shamsi

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-572438" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Tabraiz-Shamsi-.jpg" alt="Tabraiz Shamsi" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-572438" class="wp-caption-text">Tabraiz Shamsi. (Photo by Gareth Copley-ICC/ICC via Getty Images)</figcaption>

Prior to the T20 WC this year, South Africa is one of the teams with one of the finest bowling lineups. Among the best bowlers in the team is Kagiso Rabada, who will be in charge of the Proteas&#8217; bowling attack.

Anrich Nortje started off on a high note when he made his long-awaited comeback to the side because he had gained valuable experience at the IPL 2022. The fast-bowling duo will look to storm into the opposition&#8217;s batting lineup and lead the Proteas from the front.

A force to be reckoned with in the middle overs is Tabraiz Shamsi, who is also in excellent form and whose recent performances against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/india-name-15-member-squad-for-asia-cup-2022-virat-kohli-kl-rahul-return/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">India</a> and England speak for themselves. Keshav Maharaj has been in the limelight recently for his heroics with the ball, and he will look to pull off something similar.

5. Bangladesh- Mohammad Saifuddin, Mustafizur Rahman, Mahedi Hasan, Taskin Ahmed

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-405344" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Mustafizur-Rahman.jpg" alt="Mustafizur Rahman" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-405344" class="wp-caption-text">Mustafizur Rahman. (Photo by MUNIR UZ ZAMAN/AFP via Getty Images)</figcaption>

Bangladesh has been recently struggling with getting a strong lineup. They lost the T20I series against West Indies but followed it with a victory against the Caribbean side in the ODI format. Then, they faced <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/zim-vs-ban-match-prediction-3rd-odi-who-will-win-todays-match-between-zimbabwe-vs-bangladesh/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zimbabwe</a> for a bilateral series and went on to lose both ODI and T20I series.

The team will be under scrutiny as neither the experienced nor the fresh bowlers have been able to leave a mark in recent times. Nevertheless, the Bangladesh Tigers will give their best in the upcoming World Cup after missing out on the previous one.

Their bowling attack will be led by the star pacer Mustafizur Rahman, who will be well assisted by Mohammad Saifuddin, the pace-bowling all-rounder. Taskin Ahmed’s rippers will be an added bonus for the Men in Green, alongside Mahedi Hasan’s experience with the spin.

4. Afghanistan – Rashid Khan, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Fareed Ahmad Malik

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-541093" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Rashid-Khan-2.jpg" alt="Rashid Khan" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-541093" class="wp-caption-text">Rashid Khan. (Photo by Tim Goode/PA Images via Getty Images)</figcaption>

Afghanistan is frequently a very dangerous bowling unit. On good pitches, they have challenged the best of batters and have even more often been hit all over the field. Rashid Khan, the finest white-ball spinner among all the teams right now, will be in charge of this bowling attack.

Afghanistan&#8217;s spin bowling attack is extremely good, thanks to players like Mujeeb-ur-Rahman, their mystery spinner. Their pace bowling lineup is a major concern because both Fazalhaq Farooqi and Fareed Ahmad Malik are new to the side and have not been a part of any major <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/beth-mooney-regains-top-spot-in-icc-womens-t20i-player-rankings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ICC</a> tournament.

The pace bowling duo, despite having played a very limited number of international games so far, have managed to keep taking wickets for their side. While Farooqi has a creditable economy of 5.93 from his seven games, with nine wickets in his bag, Malik has an economy of 8.33, a little on the higher side but he has 21 wickets from 16 T20Is.

3. Australia- Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins, Adam Zampa

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-576417" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Mitchell-Starc.jpg" alt="Mitchell Starc" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-576417" class="wp-caption-text">Mitchell Starc. (Photo by AAMIR QURESHI/AFP via Getty Images)</figcaption>

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cwg-womens-cricket-competition-2022-stats-review/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Australia</a>&#8216;s attack, which is usually dominated by pace, is the same this time around as well. The trio of fast bowlers Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood is so elite that they are now a must-have for the Australian side for all formats.

Pat Cummins, who gives everything he has to every ball he bowls, will be in charge of the Australian bowling assault. These fast bowlers guarantee the top standards with the new ball in the powerplay as well as the death overs.

Adam Zampa will be useful in the middle overs to bag wickets and restrain batters from scoring runs. Hazelwood has benefitted a lot from the franchise cricket, and he has shown his calibre not just at the IPL or BBL, but also on the national side across all formats.

2. Pakistan- Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Wasim Jr

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-572788" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Shaheen-Afridi-1.jpg" alt="Shaheen Afridi" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-572788" class="wp-caption-text">Shaheen Afridi. (Photo by Michael Steele-ICC/ICC via Getty Images)</figcaption>

Pakistan topped their group last year by winning all five matches in the league stage and went on to play the semi-finals with their heads and spirits high. The team is known to have produced quality bowlers, some of the names include Wasim Akram and the Rawalpindi Express- <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/need-your-prayers-shoaib-akhtar-shares-emotional-video-following-his-knee-surgery-in-australia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shoaib Akhtar</a>.

Due to the abundance of fast bowlers available, bowling in the powerplay and the death overs won&#8217;t be a problem. Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf have demonstrated their abilities on the international stage in the past. This time again, Pakistan’s bowling attack will be led by the young gun Shaheen Afridi who wreaked havoc last year, especially against India.

The inclusion of Hasan Ali may be in doubt given his persistently subpar performance. Mohammad Wasim Jr., who only recently joined the T20I setup in 2021, has delivered good results in his previous matches. He might be given the go-ahead instead of Hasan Ali, which would strengthen Pakistan&#8217;s assault. Shadab Khan will fill in the spinner’s spot, and his wit and guile will benefit the side.

1. India- Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-668415" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Jasprit-Bumrah-celebrating-Liam-Livingstones-wicket.jpg" alt="Jasprit Bumrah celebrating Liam Livingstone's wicket" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-668415" class="wp-caption-text">Jasprit Bumrah celebrating Liam Livingstone&#8217;s wicket (Photo Source: Twitter/BCCI)</figcaption>

The Indian side, led by Rohit Sharma, will be in the quest for attaining an ICC title, which they haven’t been successful in doing since 2013. The Indian team is in great form in the T20I format and has recently defeated England, Ireland, and West Indies apart from levelling the series against South Africa.

India’s finest bowling attack will comprise Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/arshdeep-singh-is-pretty-high-on-pecking-order-in-terms-of-t20-world-cup-selection-saba-karim/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arshdeep Singh</a>. Chahal and Singh will majorly be responsible for the middle overs. The team will expect the duo to provide the crucial breakthroughs during the time when the batters try to build partnerships.

Kumar and Bumrah will be responsible for the powerplay and death overs respectively. The former is known for giving the side the dream start by storming through the opposition’s top order, whereas the latter will put his pace to the best use and restrict the batters from scoring big during crunch situations.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/eng-vs-sa-khaya-zondos-error-in-judging-the-ball-during-a-practice-match-costs-him-his-wicket-at-a-crucial-point/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">England </a>is a team that is known for possessing an attacking mentality with both the bat and the ball right from the first ball. In the recent few games, England&#8217;s bowling attack has emerged stronger than their batting lineup.
It is nearly impossible for captain Jos Buttler to fill the void left by the setback of their finest bowler, Jofra Archer. As a result, Chris Jordan and Adil Rashid, the team&#8217;s top wicket-takers currently, will be in charge of their bowling.
Reece Topley and David Willey, for example, would cover new ball bowling and keep the opposition batters in the mix of seam and swing, respectively. The former, especially, has become a regular face in the team recently and is known for providing the side with the early breakthrough in the powerplay.

<h3>7. New Zealand- Trent Boult, Lockie Ferguson, Tim Southee, Matt Henry</h3>

New Zealand is a team that, despite never appearing to be as formidable on paper as other teams, consistently overpowers them. The team has been making it to the knockouts almost every time in the past few championship games but is taken aback by the barest of margins.
A team&#8217;s success depends greatly on its bowlers, but it also demands a skipper who truly understands when to deploy which bowler, and the Kiwis are unmatched in this regard. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/trent-boult-released-from-new-zealand-crickets-central-contract/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trent Boult</a>, one of the world&#8217;s best swing bowlers, leads Kane Williamson’s bowling attack.
They have a comprehensive pace bowling attack with Lockie Ferguson bowling over 145 km/h, and Matt Henry bowling full, thereby remaining consistent over 140 km/h. The experienced Tim Southee will bring in his outswingers in play and lead the attack from the front.

<h3>6. South Africa- Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, Keshav Maharaj, Tabraiz Shamsi</h3>

Prior to the T20 WC this year, South Africa is one of the teams with one of the finest bowling lineups. Among the best bowlers in the team is Kagiso Rabada, who will be in charge of the Proteas&#8217; bowling attack.
Anrich Nortje started off on a high note when he made his long-awaited comeback to the side because he had gained valuable experience at the IPL 2022. The fast-bowling duo will look to storm into the opposition&#8217;s batting lineup and lead the Proteas from the front.
A force to be reckoned with in the middle overs is Tabraiz Shamsi, who is also in excellent form and whose recent performances against <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/india-name-15-member-squad-for-asia-cup-2022-virat-kohli-kl-rahul-return/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">India</a> and England speak for themselves. Keshav Maharaj has been in the limelight recently for his heroics with the ball, and he will look to pull off something similar.
<h3>5. Bangladesh- Mohammad Saifuddin, Mustafizur Rahman, Mahedi Hasan, Taskin Ahmed</h3>
<figure id="attachment_405344" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-405344" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-405344" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Mustafizur-Rahman.jpg" alt="Mustafizur Rahman" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-405344" class="wp-caption-text">Mustafizur Rahman.

Bangladesh has been recently struggling with getting a strong lineup. They lost the T20I series against West Indies but followed it with a victory against the Caribbean side in the ODI format. Then, they faced <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/zim-vs-ban-match-prediction-3rd-odi-who-will-win-todays-match-between-zimbabwe-vs-bangladesh/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zimbabwe</a> for a bilateral series and went on to lose both ODI and T20I series.
The team will be under scrutiny as neither the experienced nor the fresh bowlers have been able to leave a mark in recent times. Nevertheless, the Bangladesh Tigers will give their best in the upcoming World Cup after missing out on the previous one.
Their bowling attack will be led by the star pacer Mustafizur Rahman, who will be well assisted by Mohammad Saifuddin, the pace-bowling all-rounder. Taskin Ahmed’s rippers will be an added bonus for the Men in Green, alongside Mahedi Hasan’s experience with the spin.
<h3>4. Afghanistan – Rashid Khan, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Fareed Ahmad Malik</h3>
<figure id="attachment_541093" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-541093" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-541093" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Rashid-Khan-2.jpg" alt="Rashid Khan" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-541093" class="wp-caption-text">Rashid Khan.

Afghanistan is frequently a very dangerous bowling unit. On good pitches, they have challenged the best of batters and have even more often been hit all over the field. Rashid Khan, the finest white-ball spinner among all the teams right now, will be in charge of this bowling attack.
Afghanistan&#8217;s spin bowling attack is extremely good, thanks to players like Mujeeb-ur-Rahman, their mystery spinner. Their pace bowling lineup is a major concern because both Fazalhaq Farooqi and Fareed Ahmad Malik are new to the side and have not been a part of any major <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/beth-mooney-regains-top-spot-in-icc-womens-t20i-player-rankings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ICC</a> tournament.
The pace bowling duo, despite having played a very limited number of international games so far, have managed to keep taking wickets for their side. While Farooqi has a creditable economy of 5.93 from his seven games, with nine wickets in his bag, Malik has an economy of 8.33, a little on the higher side but he has 21 wickets from 16 T20Is.
<h3>3. Australia- Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins, Adam Zampa</h3>
<figure id="attachment_576417" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-576417" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-576417" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Mitchell-Starc.jpg" alt="Mitchell Starc" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-576417" class="wp-caption-text">Mitchell Starc.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cwg-womens-cricket-competition-2022-stats-review/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Australia</a>&#8216;s attack, which is usually dominated by pace, is the same this time around as well. The trio of fast bowlers Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood is so elite that they are now a must-have for the Australian side for all formats.
Pat Cummins, who gives everything he has to every ball he bowls, will be in charge of the Australian bowling assault. These fast bowlers guarantee the top standards with the new ball in the powerplay as well as the death overs.
Adam Zampa will be useful in the middle overs to bag wickets and restrain batters from scoring runs. Hazelwood has benefitted a lot from the franchise cricket, and he has shown his calibre not just at the IPL or BBL, but also on the national side across all formats.
<h3>2. Pakistan- Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Wasim Jr</h3>
<figure id="attachment_572788" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-572788" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-572788" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Shaheen-Afridi-1.jpg" alt="Shaheen Afridi" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-572788" class="wp-caption-text">Shaheen Afridi. (Photo by Michael Steele-ICC/ICC via Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>
Pakistan topped their group last year by winning all five matches in the league stage and went on to play the semi-finals with their heads and spirits high. The team is known to have produced quality bowlers, some of the names include Wasim Akram and the Rawalpindi Express- <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/need-your-prayers-shoaib-akhtar-shares-emotional-video-following-his-knee-surgery-in-australia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shoaib Akhtar</a>.
Due to the abundance of fast bowlers available, bowling in the powerplay and the death overs won&#8217;t be a problem. Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf have demonstrated their abilities on the international stage in the past. This time again, Pakistan’s bowling attack will be led by the young gun Shaheen Afridi who wreaked havoc last year, especially against India.
The inclusion of Hasan Ali may be in doubt given his persistently subpar performance. Mohammad Wasim Jr., who only recently joined the T20I setup in 2021, has delivered good results in his previous matches. He might be given the go-ahead instead of Hasan Ali, which would strengthen Pakistan&#8217;s assault. Shadab Khan will fill in the spinner’s spot, and his wit and guile will benefit the side.
<h3>1. India- Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh</h3>
<figure id="attachment_668415" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-668415" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-668415" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Jasprit-Bumrah-celebrating-Liam-Livingstones-wicket.jpg" alt="Jasprit Bumrah celebrating Liam Livingstone's wicket" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-668415" class="wp-caption-text">Jasprit Bumrah celebrating Liam Livingstone&#8217;s wicket (Photo Source: Twitter/BCCI)</figcaption></figure>
The Indian side, led by Rohit Sharma, will be in the quest for attaining an ICC title, which they haven’t been successful in doing since 2013. The Indian team is in great form in the T20I format and has recently defeated England, Ireland, and West Indies apart from levelling the series against South Africa.
India’s finest bowling attack will comprise Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/arshdeep-singh-is-pretty-high-on-pecking-order-in-terms-of-t20-world-cup-selection-saba-karim/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Arshdeep Singh</a>. Chahal and Singh will majorly be responsible for the middle overs. The team will expect the duo to provide the crucial breakthroughs during the time when the batters try to build partnerships.
Kumar and Bumrah will be responsible for the powerplay and death overs respectively. The former is known for giving the side the dream start by storming through the opposition’s top order, whereas the latter will put his pace to the best use and restrict the batters from scoring big during crunch situations.

Defending champions Australia will be the hosts for the upcoming World Cup, and will look to deploy the strongest bowling attack.
