ICC World Cup 2019: Ranking the pace bowlers of all the teams

#8 West Indies

Jason Holder

Pace Bowling Options: Jason Holder, Kemar Roach, Sheldon Cottrell, Oshane Thomas, Shannon Gabriel, Carlos Brathwaite, and Andre Russell

West Indies have quite a lot of pace bowling options to choose from but apart from skipper Holder and the experienced Kemar Roach, none of the Windies speedsters can be counted upon. The players have had a pretty horrible build-up to the WC as they leaked a lot of runs in the series against Bangladesh.

Despite their wondrous efforts to thwart England at the start of the year, there a lot of doubts over their pace attack and though the young guns like Oshane Thomas can pack a punch, they need to be groomed well.

West Indies have plenty of pace bowling firepower with many players like Cottrell, Gabriel and Andre Russell in their ranks but they need to be disciplined in their bowling if they want to be up with the other teams.

#7 Bangladesh

Mustafizur Rahman.

Pace Bowling Options: Mashrafe Mortaza, Mustafizur Rahman, Abu Jayed, Rubel Hossain and Mohammad Saifuddin

Bangladesh can really pose a challenge to the other teams in this World Cup as their rise in international cricket has been brilliant to watch. They have been able to hold their own against other teams and have a decent pace bowling lineup.

Skipper Mashrafe Mortaza has years of experience and brilliant stats while Mustafizur Rahman is one of the best pacers in the world, currently. Rubel Hossain too is a wicket-taking bowler while a couple of young guns, Abu Jayed and Mohammad Saifuddin too are available for selection.

Though the newcomers lack experience, Bangladesh have a strong 3-bowler combination which can be a threat to the batsmen.
