Does Pakistan possess the strongest T20I bowling lineup in the world?

[jnaveen1980]

Shoriful > Shaheen Clearly. Even in T20.

Last 12 monthsT20 stats

Shaheen 9 matches 15 wickets 18 avge 8.98 ER

Shoriful 7 matches 9 wickets 20.44 avge 7.45 ER

He took out Finn Allen 3 out of 3 times in NZ. Twice very cheaply for single digits. The guy who destroyed Pakistan attack.

oh come on bro! bowing with beter average doesnt count only... Strike Rate counts more and u can see who's bowing with better impact.

ER is important in T20. You don't get 2 or 3 wickets every match. The day you don't get wickets you have to be economical.

That's in IPL. This your first choice attack against a 2nd string NZ lineup.

Your bowling line-up holds the honor of getting massacred in the last T20WC semi-final.

With all that talent and skill, you should be doing better.

India does not have the best T20 bowling lineup. Pakistan's bowling is in trouble if they are struggling against this lineup.

They are not good at the longer formats and since the last World T20, they have struggled in T20I's too.

Don't they can be called the best T20 I attack based on their recent record.

Anyone saying Pakistan has the best bowling attack is delusional. It's a very good bowling line-up, no doubt about that.

Shaheen, Naseem, Amir/Rauf, Shadab, Imad and Abrar is a very handy bowling attack on paper, regardless of form. They have performed at international level in T20 cricket (bar Abrar).

However, setting aside this weak NZ team, any bowling attack can get massacred if one of the batters from the opposition has a good day. You should be focusing on sample size and consistent performances over a period of time, and Pakistan's bowling was exceptional in two recent T20WCs.

This bowling line up is washed up

Shaheen: bowling at 128-132 and most of them being short and wide angle deliveries.

Naseem: Bowls with pace but has zero control compared to his early 2022-2023 self.

Amir: No longer has the 2009 and 2017 flair, he's a smart bowler with variation, but he isn't the same Amir

Shadab: Bowls pies

Abrar: Only bowler who's worth a damn

Chacha: HAHAHAHAHA

Abass Afridi: Tbh he looks alright but ordinary, he doesn't look like he'll be a big thing, and will probs get tonked by even semi decent bats.

Mention an attack which is better in T20s?

 

[Usman Chadda]

Mention an attack which is better in T20s?

Rabada, Jansen, Nortje, Ngidi, Coetzee, Maharaj and Shamsi

Starc, Cummins, Hazlewood, Zampa, Marsh/Green

India with Bumrah back is also decent

Australian attack eats this attack for breakfast.

So does Afghanistan attack, when the team was in their stride they were difficult for Australia to play lol.

Indian attack is also superior so is SA attack easily.

NZ attack with their full team is superior, infact even now a burnt out southee and boult are superior to our jokers .

England attack is toothless tbf, idk which attack is worse.

Sri lanka, Bangladesh are also weaker. Nedtherlands idk, their beyond inconsistent as a team but tbf I think sa and England lost due to being mentality put of it and sa being poor at chasing doubt it'll happen again, might happen again if sa chases for the 3rd time.

West Indies attack idk, their horrible but their playing in home conditions.

 

[Human786]

itna mazzaq na karen .... Pakistan T20 team is far worse than Indian T20 team which says enough as the top 4 WC teams are SAF , AUS , WI & perhaps ENG !

Jansen and Coetzee have an economy rate above 10. Ngidi has an economy rate over 9, as well. Rabada and Nortje are their most valuable T20 pacers, but even Nortje has struggled to find his form recently.

Australia has an impressive bowling attack, but T20 is the weakest format for at least Cummins and Hazlewood. The quality of their 5th bowling option is also questionable.

India's bowling attack isn't particularly strong in T20. Bumrah and Kuldeep are their only noteworthy bowlers they have.

Afghanistan's spin department is very strong, but their pace attack is rather weak and comparable to that of an associate nation.

West Indies failed to qualify for the Super 12 stage of the last T20 World Cup after losing to Ireland and Scotland.

Our economy rate is about be thrown out of the window when someone like Chapman will occasionally smack us for 20 an over

Trust me the bowlers that you mentioned are not comparable to ours in terms of being trash.

 

[Saj]

On paper it's a strong attack, but too often they flop and don't perform as a unit.

 

[Cricket Warrior]

They are strong enough but you can't expect wonders from ur bowlers when your batsmen will get u 160 runs on 200 wicket

Saj , they are a good unit , not great & are unable to deliver because the batting line-up is below par .
