"Bowlers win you matches" - This is what they say and it is absolutely true. To win any game of cricket or any tournament for that matter of fact - the team which has better bowling attack, certainly has an edge over the other team. The ongoing T20 World Cup 2026 has also been such. Who would have imagined that Zimbabwe would make it to the Super 8 without losing a single game and Australia getting knocked out so early in the tournament? Well, fair to say that Australia has struggled with their bowling, eventually making them suffer in the crunch situation. Zimbabwe on the other hand has been really effective with their bowling - eventually surprising Sri Lanka and Australia.
As we prepare for the Super 8 of the T20 World Cup 2026, let's look at who has picked the most wickets in the T20 World Cup thus far. The list just doesn't carry the number of wickets but will give you a detailed information around each and every player - from the balls being bowled, to over, to runs conceded, to wickets taken.
