Australia and Pakistan, the standouts as we look at the ranking of the best pacers of all teams for T20 World Cup 2024.

We have already seen a few matches in the T20 World Cup 2024, and if there is one category of players that have been licking their lips, it is the fast bowlers. Most of the matches that we have seem so far have seen conditions favoring the fast bowlers. The pitches are designed in such a way that even a decent fast bowler is looking dangerous on these pitches.

Needless to say, as the tournament progresses, the pitches will start assisting the pacers even more, and the pacers who are good at cutting their pace down will benefit more. But which team has the best set of pacers for T20 World Cup 2024? Well, let’s look at the ranking of the top 10 Teams and the complete list of pacers for all teams for T20 World Cup 2024.

T20 World Cup 2024 Ranking of Pacers of All 10 Teams

#10: West Indies

Andre Russell
Romario Shepherd
Alzarri Joseph
Obed McCoy
Shamar Joseph

Starting with number 10, we have the West Indies team with Ober McCoy and Andre Russell as their best pacers. Honestly, West Indies have one of the worst pace attacks in this World Cup among the top 10 teams, and none of their pacers are proven to have solid T20 credentials. So, be it Joseph, Shamar, or Shephard, all are decent names. McCoy and Russel are the only decent names for their fast bowling.

#9: Afghanistan

Azmatullah Omarzai
Gulbadin Naib
Karim Janat
Fareed Ahmad Malik
Fazalhaq Farooqi
Naveen-ul-Haq

At number 9, we have the Afghanistan team with Naveen Ul Haq and Fazalhaq Farooqi being their best pacers. Afghanistan does have some decent pacers in their squad, but they are primarily known for spin bowling, and there is absolutely no competition on that front for Afghanistan. But in the pace department, there’s still work to be done for the Afghans.

#8: Bangladesh

Soumya Sarkar
Mustafizur Rahman
Shoriful Islam
Tanzim Sakib
Taskin Ahmed

Number 8 sees the Bangladesh team, and they technically have better pacers than Afghanistan with Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed leading the charge. Both are really good pacers, and in addition, Bangladesh have Shoriful Islam and Tanzim Shakib as their other two good supporting pacers.

#7: Sri Lanka

Angelo Mathews
Dasun Shanaka
Dushmantha Chameera
Dilshan Madushanka
Matheesha Pathirana
Nuwan Thushara

Number 7 sees the Sri Lankan Team, and they do have some quality fast bowlers on their side. Matheesha Pathirana is their best pacer, and the likes of Dushmantha Chameera, Dilshan Madhudhanka, and Nuwan Thusara are also really good names on paper for the T20 format. The only thing they lack is experience, which the top 6 teams seem to have.

#6: India

Hardik Pandya
Shivam Dube
Arshdeep Singh
Jasprit Bumrah
Mohammed Siraj

Coming to number 6, we have the Indian team, and Jasprit Bumrah is the main reason why the team is in this position. Bumrah is the world’s number 1 pacer, but the other pacers, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Siraj, and Hardik Pandya aren’t the most dangerous names when it comes to pace bowling in T20 format. Only if India had Shami, their pace bowling would have looked much stronger. But without Shami, the likes of Arshdeep and Siraj will have to do a lot of hard work in the T20 format.

#5: New Zealand

Daryl Mitchell
Jimmy Neesham
Lockie Ferguson
Matt Henry
Tim Southee
Trent Boult

At number 5, we have the New Zealand team, and they do have some really great set of pace bowlers. Trent Boult leads the pace attack for New Zealand, and other than him, New Zealand have Tim Southee, Lockie Ferguson, and Matt Henry – thus making them a potent pace attack for the T20 World Cup 2024. While the set of fast bowlers is great, it is more suited to Test matches than T20Is.

#4: England

Sam Curran
Chris Jordan
Jofra Archer
Mark Wood
Reece Topley

At number 4, we have the England team with Jofra Archer and Mark Wood being their best pacers. In Archer and Wood, England have one of the best pace duos for the T20 World Cup 2024. Other than these two, England have Sam Curran and Reece Topley as two more good pacers.

#3: South Africa

Marco Jansen
Anrich Nortje
Bjorn Fortuin
Gerald Coetzee
Kagiso Rabada
Ottniel Baartman

Moving to the top 3, we have the South African team with the likes of Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje, and Marco Jansen being their best pacers. With these three, the supporting pacers like Gerald Coetzee, Bjorn Fortuin, and Ottniel Baartman are good names too.

#2: Pakistan

Abbas Afridi
Haris Rauf
Mohammad Amir
Naseem Shah
Shaheen Shah Afridi

Talking about number 2, we have the Pakistan team, and they do have some really good pacers in their squad. All four names, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, and Mohammad Amir are quality pacers, and are well-suited to bowl on all kinds of wickets.

#1: Australia

Cameron Green
Marcus Stoinis
Mitchell Marsh
Josh Hazlewood
Mitchell Starc
Nathan Ellis
Pat Cummins

Finally, for the number 1 position, we have the Australian team, and the reason is the pace trio of Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, and Pat Cummins. Individually, these three pacers aren’t the most dangerous names on the table, but when they bowl together, they complement each other so well that they look the most dangerous pace attack. In addition, Australia have Nathan Ellis, Mitchell Marsh, Cameron Green, and Marcus Stoinis as good supporting pacers.

Other than the top 10 teams, hee’s the list of complete pacers list for all other teams for the T20 World Cup 2024.
