Top 5 ODI teams with best pace attacks ahead of 2019 Cricket World Cup

Australia v England - Game 2
Mitchell Starc

Pakistan just missed the cut

England v Pakistan - ICC Champions Trophy
Hasan Ali

Pakistan has produced a plethora of world class seamers and their current crop is no less menacing. Pakistan have some world class in Mohammad Aamir, Junaid Khan, Wahab Riaz and Hasan Ali who can run through any sides and win matches for their country. Mohammad Aamir is their front line pacer who sets up his dismissals with his nagging out swing. Wahab Riaz can produce some match winning spells when he gets his rhythm going.

In recent years, Hasan Ali has been their strike weapon in ODI's picking up a bagful of wickets. Hasan who bowls at a brisk pace hurries onto the batsman with his deceptively quick deliveries. Hasan bowls a tight line and has a bagful of variations to trouble the batsmen.

Pakistan also have Rahat Ali and Faheem Ashraf who can bowl their medium pace to good effect in English conditions.

The ODI teams which dint made the Top 5 have world class seamers but lack depth in their pace attack.

Sri Lanka - Suranga Lakmal, Lasith Mallinga, Nuwan Kulasekara, Nuwan Pradeep

West Indies - Jerome Taylor, Kemar Roach, Jason Holder

Bangladesh - Mustafizur Rahman, Mashrafe Mortaza, Taskin Ahmed, Rubel Hossain

Afghanistan - Shahpor Zadran, Dawlat Zadran, Hameed Hassan
