Ranking the all-time best power hitters in T20I death overs

Teams want batters who have the potential to attack bowlers from the word go in T20 Internationals aka T20Is. The first powerplay which occurs from the first to the sixth over allows the batting side to accumulate runs at a swift pace. However, the most challenging task for teams is to notch up runs in the death overs of games. In that situation, every side needs power hitters who can bring bowlers under pressure and finish innings efficiently for them.

It’s been almost 21 years since the first T20I was played and introduced to fans. Since then, fans have witnessed several batters who emerged as specialists in taking bowling units to the cleaners in the death overs. Discussing more, let’s discuss some power hitters of all time in T20I cricket.

Here we rank the top 10 power-hitter batters in T20I death overs:

10. Marcus Stoinis

Australia’s Marcus Stoinis is known for his exceptional all-round skills in white-ball cricket. As a batter, he possesses excellent hard-hitting ability which makes him a perfect finisher in cricket’s shortest format. Batting in the lower middle order, his strike rate crosses 135.00 usually in T20Is.

There are several instances to recount when Stoinis flexed his muscles and helped Australia win close T20I games comfortably. Back in the 2022 T20 World Cup, he came at number five and rescued his team against Sri Lanka at the Optus Stadium, with his extraordinary 59-run knock off just 18 deliveries. With this innings, he also became the Australian player with the fastest T20I half-century.
