Teams with the most lethal bowling lineup in CWC2023
1. Pakistan
Pakistan’s speed assault is without a doubt one of the finest in the world, much alone in Asia. Pakistan Cricket has benefited well in the past year or two from the lethal trio of Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah ahead of the CWC2023.
Afridi, Rauf, and Naseem all have batting speeds above 145 kph. All of them offer a huge threat to the opposing batsmen early in the innings as well as in the middle overs.
2. Australia
World-class pace bowlers who can bowl at speeds of 140 to 150 plus on average make up the Australia Cricket Team’s pace bowling assault. As a result, the Australians will defeat their opponents thanks to their great fast bowler attack.
In the ICC World Cup 2023, which will take place in India, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Kane Richardson will be the fast bowlers for Australia.
3. India
Jasprit Bumrah’s return will give Team India some much-needed fresh air. During the most recent T20I series against Ireland, the pacer led the Indian squad and looked very fluid.
Bumrah will start for his team in the Asia Cup because of his flawless bowling skills.
The Indian team will have to decide whether to play Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami together as a team or just one of them to stretch the batting attack ahead of the CWC2023.
4. New Zealand
As part of their ongoing preparations for the ICC World Cup 2023 this year in India. New Zealand calls up a pair of sharp fast bowlers for their forthcoming white-ball series against England.
Trent Boult, a seasoned left-arm pacer, and Kyle Jamieson, a fellow pacer, have returned to New Zealand’s World Cup roster. The Black Caps will play the 2019 champions in a five-match series as a crucial warm-up for this year’s World Cup.
5. England
The 15-person provisional England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) squad for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup in India was revealed on Wednesday.
With their initial roster for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, England has made a number of big selections. All-rounder Ben Stokes is now part of a group of 15 players without teenage batter Harry Brook and star quick Jofra Archer.
With the right balance of quick bowlers like Mark Wood, Dawid Willey, and Reece Topley and with the experience that Adil Rashid brings in. England’s CWC2023 bowling lineup is one of the most lethal lineups in the world.
