Top 3 Pakistan Bowlers at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026

Pakistan’s campaign in the T20 World Cup 2026 ended in disappointment as the team failed to qualify for the semifinal stage of the tournament due to their poor net run rate. 

Amidst all the chaos, several bowlers stepped up with impactful spells during key moments of the competition. Even though Pakistan could not progress further in the tournament, these bowlers managed to make valuable contributions with the ball. 

Here are the Top 3 bowlers from Pakistan in T20 World Cup 2026:

3. Shadab Khan

Shadab Khan makes an entry into Pakistan’s best bowlers, and he was nowhere close to his best throughout the competition, and that tells the story of Pakistan’s campaign. 

The leg-spinner picked up just five wickets in just six innings, with a bowling average of 30.40 and an economy rate of over eight runs per over. His best outing with the ball came against Namibia when he picked up three wickets giving away just 19 runs. 

2. Shaheen Shah Afridi 

The leading wicket taker for Pakistan in T20I history makes into this list despite an underwhelming campaign for the Men in Green. 

The left-arm pacer picked up eight wickets in five innings for his team. He was also dropped from the playing XI after multiple underwhelming outings. He came back strongly and gave his best performance of the tournament when he picked up four wickets against England. 

1. Usman Tariq 

The mystery spinner from Pakistan made headlines all over the world for his unique bowling style. Usman Tariq made a mark with his quality performances in this campaign and became an instant talking point due to his unusual pause and release action that messed up the batters’ timing.

He picked up 10 wickets for Pakistan in just five innings with the ball, at an economy rate 7.23, which indicates how well he bowled for the Men in Green. His best figures came against Namibia when he picked up four wickets while only conceding 16 runs. However, his efforts were not enough to take Pakistan past the Super 8 stage as they were knocked out due to their inferior net run rate.
