IPL will see the best of Andrew Tye this time

The Australian limited overs expert is one of the best death overs bowlers in Cricket right now. Kings XI Punjab and Chennai Super Kings clashed head to head for the Australian and Kings XI finally landed him for a huge $1.4 million.

Tye was brilliant last year when he picked up 12 wickets from 6 games, including a stunning hat-trick. He was superb for Perth Scorchers in BBL 2017/18 and brilliant for Australia in their limited overs series against England.

Tye’s major weapon remains his ‘Knuckle Ball’ as batsmen found it extremely hard to pick his slower ones. The 31-year-old is an accurate death overs bowler and will pick up a lot of wickets from overs 16 to 20. He averages 1.5 wickets per game in T20’s and a great buy for Kings XI Punjab.
