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

#2 Pakistan

Known for their rich fast bowling reserves, Pakistan have been terrific in recent ICC events. They narrowly missed out on a semifinal spot in the last World Cup.

In with a realistic chance of lifting the cup this time, much of Pakistan's chances depend on how their in-form pace unit delivers.

Probables for World Cup - Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Faheem Ashraf

Shaheen Afridi is one of the best new-ball bowlers in the world at the moment. He will have a huge burden on his shoulders, with many expecting him to succeed in conditions similar to his home conditions.

Naseem has shown great control and consistency with the ball and forms a lethal new-ball par with Shaheen. Rauf is known for his hit-the-deck bowling with raw pace and awkward bounce.

The trio is capable of bowling at high 140s on a consistent basis, getting in pin-point yorkers, and swinging the ball at will. That is a combination every team dreams of.
