ODI World Cup 2023: Ranking best death bowlers in each team

The ODI World Cup 2023 will kick off on October 5, 2023, with the contest between England and New Zealand at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium. Prior to the tournament, all 10 teams tested their preparations in warm-up matches. Indian surfaces are known for being batting-friendly and batters’ domination in practice games corroborates this fact.

Noting the action in warm-up games, it’s essential for every side to have a bowler who can showcase his efficiency in death overs. In pitches where batting is heaven, only death-over specialists can rein in batters in the last overs of innings. Ahead of the tournament, let’s rank some bowlers who are adept at containing runs in the final overs of innings.

Here are the rankings of death bowlers from each side in the World Cup 2023

10. The Netherlands- Ryan Klein

Ryan Klein will support Logan van Beek and Bas de Leede to reinforce the Dutch team’s fast-bowling unit. Klein looked confident with the ball in the World Cup qualifier 2023. The pacer took nine wickets in six matches at an economy of 4.40 and made a crucial contribution to his team’s spectacular campaign in the tournament.

His best performance of the tournament came against the United States of America (USA) in Harare. The speedster splurged 31 runs in nine overs and claimed two wickets. In the World Cup 2023, Klein will have to play the role of a death-over specialist for the Netherlands.

Klein's bowling figures are decent in death overs. The 26-year-old has bowled 117 deliveries in the last overs of the innings in which he has taken five wickets and conceded 126 runs at an economy of 6.46.
