The year of 2020 do have significant importance in terms of white-ball cricket. With T20 world cup and IPL just around the corner, it is the right time to look at the best white-ball death bowlers in world cricket right now.
Jasprit Bumrah
Any bowling charts can’t be started without the mention of this Indian superstar. Jasprit Bumrah came a long way after starting off his career with Mumbai Indians in 2013. He has become India’s premier fast bowler in last couple of years. India can stifle the opposition even if they have wickets in hand at the death on back of the brilliance of Bumrah. He had a terrific world cup in ODI format in 2019 and he will be looking forward to repeat the same heroics in T20 world cup this year.
Mitchell Starc
This New South Wales fast bowler holds a unique world record about something that never has been done before. Mitchell Starc was the top wicket-taker in two consecutive ODI world cups in 2015 and 2019. That speaks volume of his bowling abilities in limited-overs cricket. His toe crushing yorkers from left-arm angle are not easy to take out, let alone to score runs from them. He is right up there along with Bumrah in terms of high-quality execution at the death.
