Top 5 Finishers T20 WC 2022: The role of a finisher in limited-overs cricket is of utmost importance. Teams who finish well more often than not finish on the right side of the result. There have been so many cases where teams have had a strong start but floundered at the end. On the contrary, teams have done well despite starting poorly but ending with a bang. The finishers for different teams in the T20 World Cup will be in focus.
We rank the top 5 finishers for T20 World Cup 2022:
#5 Jimmy Neesham
He is one of the finest strikers at the death. Nobody has a better strike rate except for Suryakumar Yadav than Jimmy Neesham. He showed his class in the previous edition of the tournament when he went ballistic in the semis. Neesham brings out his best, especially in ICC tournaments. He will be keen to showcase his prowess in the upcoming T20 World Cup too.
#4 Hardik Pandya
He is one of the most valuable T20I players in the world. The captaincy of Gujarat Titans has completely transformed Hardik Pandya. He led a bunch of no-hopers to the title in their first-ever season. Pandya had a solid season with the bat that saw him taking more responsibility.
He has carried on his good form over to international cricket. Pandya has put match-winning performances in the cluster this season. He is one of the most fearsome batters at death. His ability to finish games, in the end, is sensational.
#3 David Miller
Much like his IPL captain, David Miller too has had a new lease of life post IPL 2022. David Miller was arguably Gujarat Titans’ best batsman. He was sensational in games where the team had given up hope. Miller has continued his form even while playing for South Africa. In the absence of Rassie Van Der Dussie, Miller will have to shoulder more responsibility. As seen in the IPL, added responsibility brings out his beast mode.
#2 Tim David
He has just played three games in Australian colour. But yet there is massive expectation riding on Tim David’s shoulders. He has a strike rate of 163 in all T20s played across different leagues.
David showed how dangerous he could be in the series against India. A power-packed Australian batting lineup will help him make the most of slog overs. His game against spin is a work in progress. If he faces pace first up, he will back himself to go berserk.
#1 Liam Livingstone
Jonny Bairstow’s injury has put England’s T20 World Cup dream in a bit of a spot. As he is an instrumental figure in the team. But his absence opens up an opportunity for others to display their skills.
England will be counting on Liam Livingstone to deliver for them at the T20 World Cup. Livingstone has already shown what he is capable of across different conditions. He doesn’t have any perceivable weakness against any bowling type. This makes him the most dangerous of all finishers!
