Top 5 death-bowlers in the ICC Champions Trophy 2013

3. Dale Steyn

Unfortunately, the best bowler in the world has not had a chance to showcase his skills in the competition so far. He is, however, likely to feature in South Africa’s last group game against the West Indies and his performance might just be the difference. Whereas Steyn’s pace is ideal for the batsmen to get away from a length, his height and bowling action give him a skiddy quality that often deceives the batsman. Dale Steyn is an intelligent fast bowler, and that is a rarity in itself. He has a deadly yorker and his stats prove that he is as effective at the death as the beginning of the innings.
