Switzerland tour of Estonia 2025: SUI Bowlers to Watch in the 2nd T20I Match of SUI vs EST

Let’s be honest—Switzerland’s bowling attack hasn’t put the fear of god into anyone this season. But with the second T20I match against Estonia about to begin, there is still a full bag of chips to play for. With raw pace, experiments in economies and the tendency to change the game in a heartbeat, Swiss bowlers are a work in progress—somewhat chaotic, some moments magical. The question is: who will be the influential force this time? We will now turn our attention to the bowlers in the Switzerland squad who could make a mark in the all-important match.

Diyon Johnson

With just six wickets in seven outings, Johnson isn’t flashy—but his 7.70 economy whispers control in every over. Johnson may not be the most exciting bowler, but he has been effective, with his best visitor’s figures of 2/35 not being particularly eye-catching. However, he has been the bowler of choice for Switzerland to regain control in the middle overs.

The secret for Diyon in game two is adapting early. Estonia’s batters are confident on pace, which is too normal, so he will need to find a way to get the batters to mix it up. A couple of cutters, a couple of smart pace changes, and a sensible line may be enough. He may not rattle the stumps every second over, but if Switzerland wanted someone to hold things together, he’s your man.

Hugo Elder

Hugo Elder has only played 2 T20Is, so we don’t have a huge sample size. What we do have is a tidy bowler; with an economy rate of 6.40, Hugo is one of the more economical bowlers in the Swiss line-up. He has only taken 1 wicket to date, but his control makes him a low-risk option for Switzerland, especially when the opposition is looking to go after the bowlers.

If the Swiss team is looking to sneak in two overs quietly and choke the run flow, Hugo might be the curveball they need. He doesn’t bowl express or turn the ball a mile – but he is consistent, and in T20 cricket, that is half the battle.

Malyar Stanikzai

Let’s take a look at Malyar Stanikzai. His stats are not good: 2 wickets in 10 matches at an average of 71.50 and an economy rate of nearly 9 yikes! But when it comes to Stanikzai, sometimes the stats don’t tell the whole story. He’s been placed in tough situations, such as powerplays and death overs where bowlers carry the load for the cricket plan.

There is also the intangible value of experience. Malyar has played more T20I matches than any other Swiss bowler in the current group. That means he has experienced pressure, faced adversity, and it shouldn’t be forgotten that he could serve as a mentor to the younger bowlers. While it is unlikely he will be considered the main wicket-taker, don’t be surprised if he ends up taking out a big scalp when it is least expected!

When it comes to Switzerland’s bowling performance in the second T20I, there is less of a focus on being dominant and more on being disciplined and adaptable. Diyon Johnson is the most balanced of all the options, Hugo Elder might be the best weapon in a tactical sense, and Malyar Stanikzai—while the numbers don’t confirm this—offers a sign of experience.
