Best T20 XI of 2019 

Fast bowlers

Chris Jordan (Matches - 8, Wickets - 14, Average - 12.86, Economy - 7.55)

Chris Jordan

Chris Jordan has made a strong case for himself for a place in England's T20 World Cup squad.

Jordan bowled exceptionally at the death with his pinpoint yorkers, and he kept chipping away with crucial wickets. Jordan took 14 wickets in 8 games at a superb average of 12.86.

Deepak Chahar (Matches - 9, Wickets - 16, Average - 14.76, Economy - 7)

Deepak Chahar

Deepak Chahar made the most of the absence of premier T20 pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, as he impressed everyone with his immaculate line and length and variations.

Chahar took 16 wickets in the year, which included the 6 wickets that he took in a single match against Bangladesh.

Lasith Malinga (Matches - 10, Wickets - 14, Average - 17.93, Economy - 6.44)

Lasith Malinga

Lasith Malinga was once again amongst the wickets for Sri Lanka in the shortest format of the game. Malinga, who is also the captain of the T20 side, took 14 wickets in 10 games in the year. His economy of 6.44 is testimony of the fact that the opposition batsmen still find it difficult to score off him.

Malinga's 4 wickets off 4 balls against New Zealand will be etched in every Sri Lankan fan's memory for years to come.
