ICC World Cup 2023: Top 5 teams with the best fast bowling attack in the tournament

#3 India

Two-time champions and hosts for the 13th edition, India will be going into the tournament with a pace attack that is capable of running through any opposition. With Bumrah and Prasidh back in action after major injuries, their pace attack looks at full strength again and is arguably one of the best in the tournament.

How far the hosts go in the tournament would be heavily dependent on their fast bowlers, who have not played as a unit for quite a long time now. But with the Asia Cup just ahead of the World Cup, they have a chance to get into rhythm.

Probables for World Cup - Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Shardul Thakur, Hardik Pandya

Siraj was the top-ranked ODI bowler not long back, and he and Bumrah are expected to share the new ball. Shardul, with his knack of picking crucial wickets, will likely be able to bowl at any stage required.

Shami is a proven veteran while Prasidh has shown glimpses of brilliance, with his pace and bounce troubling most batters. The pace attack for the hosts covers all bases, except for having a left-arm seamer in their ranks.
