The 2021 ICC T20 World Cup which is now just more than four months away, is now finally all set to take its course in the October &#8211; November period. Most international teams had already earmarked it as their pinnacle event of the cricketing year 2021 and have strenuously been advancing towards their intended plans and preparations.

In fact, to attain an ascendency in the entire event, some of the top teams have also constantly started to rotate and preserve their elite players thus making them completely restored and fit for the apex carnival.

However, with T20 cricket now also getting brimmed with many Super Over events, the teams definitively would also prefer having some distinct plans to combat such freakish events.

Hence, in this list, here’s a team-wise Super Over combination especially for the upcoming T20 World Cup:

1. New Zealand: Batsman &#8211; Kane Williamson, Martin Guptill &amp; Jimmy Neesham; Bowler &#8211; Lockie Ferguson

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-347929" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Lockie-Ferguson.jpg" alt="Lockie Ferguson" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-347929" class="wp-caption-text">Lockie Ferguson.

While the story of super overs and the New Zealand team is more contrasting than the modern-day game of bat and ball, amidst this, the kiwis have surely now gained an abundance of experience. Hence, to again face a challenge, the NZ team’s top two picks to open the innings must surely be skipper Williamson along with Martin Guptill.

Skipper Williamson, as we all know is a sharp-witted batter, who not only can fetch the narrowest of gaps but also can become unconventional with his touch play. Especially on sluggish wickets, Williamson’s batting can become handier, as neat timing is something which the NZ skipper has the best mastery of.

However, in ideal white-ball conditions, it will mainly be Martin Guptill’s eruptive batting that will yield maximum value for NZ. And to further run the show, Jimmy Neesham’s freakish flicks and conventional strokes can also overall be soaring options for NZ in batting.

But in terms of bowling, since the two premier pacers (<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2021-trent-boult-keen-to-participate-in-remaining-season-if-situations-are-favourable/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trent Boult</a> and Tim Southee) have had an obnoxious time in the past, the team now must prefer Lockie Ferguson’s express pace bowling. In general, Ferguson’s brisk pace has yielded him a tag of a genuine wicket-taking pacer especially when the batters do try to take him for cleaners. Overall, apart from his rapid pace and bounce, Ferguson also has a fine yorker and some other variations which often deceives the batters to attempt faulty strokes.

2. England: Batsman &#8211; Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes &amp; Johnny Bairstow; Bowling &#8211; Jofra Archer

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-443308" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Jos-Buttler-1-1.jpg" alt="Jos Buttler" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-443308" class="wp-caption-text">Jos Buttler. (Photo Source: Getty Images)</figcaption>

One thing which the current English team has got overloaded with is the number of match-winners that they have at their disposal. But to pick out an eminent super over combination especially in the batting, the duo of Buttler and Stokes can seemingly be the best pair to open with.

With Jos Buttler already being England’s premier batsman in T20Is, his opening becomes a prime choice, especially when considering that he hardly takes time to start middling the deliveries. Even when it comes to dispatching the yorker deliveries for boundaries, Buttler’s paddle sweep is the best in the game.

However, when it comes to combating and enduring the pressure of super overs, England’s <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/england-vs-new-zealand-stuart-broad-set-to-be-joe-roots-deputy-in-injured-ben-stokes-absence/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Stokes</a> then becomes their undisputed superman for a trouncing. In terms of his pairing with Butter, Stokes can not only find gaps or can shrewdly fetch twos, but also can equally play the conventional and unusual shots.

The left-right combination can further perplex any bowler and his field which eventually might help England enormously. And to follow them, Jonny Bairstow seems to be the right fit, as again just like the above duo, even his batting is all about versatility.

And to terminate runs, Jofra Archer is the best candidate available for captain Morgan to get entrusted upon perhaps also being the team’s go-to bowler during the 2019 World Cup final. In general, Jofra Archer’s bowling arsenal not only has a deadly bouncer but also some crushing yorkers.

Also by playing a realm of limited-overs matches, Archer has now developed some clever variations which are hard to tonk against. Hence, in a super over scenario, the England team is vastly well equipped to triumph in any situations.

3. Australia: Batsman &#8211; David Warner, Glenn Maxwell &amp; Marcus Stoinis; Bowler &#8211; Mitchell Starc

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-467800" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Mitchell-Starc-2.jpg" alt="Mitchell Starc" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-467800" class="wp-caption-text">Mitchell Starc. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Even though Australia might have some other explosive options like the presence of skipper Aaron Finch himself, nothing can be more fruitful than an opening pair of Warner and Maxwell to face super over ordeals. While someone like <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/david-warner-turns-into-tiger-shroff-on-instagram-wife-candice-reacts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David Warner</a> can conventionally hit the ball on all areas of the park along with also finding some discerning gaps, the presence of Glenn Maxwell can then certainly mean an explosion of big hits.

As we all know, once Maxwell starts to connect the ball immaculately, then even his unorthodox strokes do become a dangerous proposition for bowlers to face. Hence, his 360-degree batting alongside Warner’s astute gameplay can yield Australia some triumphing totals. And perhaps to follow this exquisite pair, Marcus Stoinis then ideally fits the bill, as he’s another powerful bloke who can whack the ball in any direction.

Further, to even minimize runs, Australia has two sensational pacers (Pat Cummins &amp; Mitchell Starc) to choose from, but with Starc’s exceptional ability to bowl neat yorkers from both sides of the wicket, it certainly gives him an extra edge over Cummins.

His execution of pinpoint yorkers rarely allows the batsman to go underneath the ball and with the subcontinental conditions, his yorkers can also find the barest of reverse swing. Also, in accord with his field settings, Starc is well known for bowling away from the batsman’s arc which eventually means he’s still highly capable to do the hard job for Australia.

4. India: Batsman &#8211; Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant &amp; Hardik Pandya; Bowler &#8211; Jasprit Bumrah

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-497513" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Rohit-Sharma-6.jpg" alt="Rohit Sharma" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-497513" class="wp-caption-text">Rohit Sharma. (Photo Source: BCCI)</figcaption>

Not very long ago, team India had played two consecutive super over encounters against New Zealand and had excruciatingly won both of them because of the sumptuous batting of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul. But with KL Rahul’s current establishment still being ambiguous, certainly, the team will surely need someone whose very versatile and flexible with his batting.

While someone like Rohit Sharma is a no-brainer prime choice option to open with, someone like <a href="https://www.facebook.com/crictracker/posts/4458135560883797" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rishabh Pant</a> perhaps on the other hand can also form a canny proposition from the other end. As apart from their left-hand right-hand dynamics, both these batters assuredly can play both the conventional shots as well as the witty unorthodox ramps and sweeps.

To complement further, again both the batters can not only easily clear any rope but also can tonk the ball in any direction. Hence, the duo of Rohit Sharma and Rishabh Pant can certainly become a winning first-choice combination in regards to any super-over situation.

And to follow them up, since often the situation might demand a hard whacker of the ball, the junior Pandya then becomes a perfect fit. There’s certainly no doubt that Hardik’s batting can decimate any bowling instantaneously so with the above duo, Hardik can seamlessly make team India triumph in any of the super over situations.

For ceasing runs, the Indian team is well blessed to have Jasprit Bumrah, who not has the ability to restrict runs but also can pick all the three wickets in a whip. His mainstream yorkers and other variations do manifestly make Bumrah very well equipped for any challenge in any of the conditions. Therefore, with the above batting trio and with the paramount bowling of Jasprit Bumrah, team India does have the best resources to pull off any super over constraints.

5. Pakistan: Batsman &#8211; Mohammad Rizwan, Fakhar Zaman &amp; Babar Azam; Bowling &#8211; Shaheen Afridi

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-505700" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Babar-Azam-3.jpg" alt="Babar Azam" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-505700" class="wp-caption-text">Babar Azam. (Photo Source: Twitter)</figcaption>

Although the Pakistani team is yet to face an awful experience in super overs, the team in general surely has a class of elite players, who can challenge any opposition. To open their batting, both Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman do look like a promising pair, as one can easily find the gaps and the other can simply tonk the ball hard.

Further to accompany them, skipper <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/babar-azam-tweets-babar-ki-kahani-gains-attention-of-his-fans-on-twitter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Babar Azam</a> can then become a fueling option as his batting is all about finding open spaces in the park. Also, not to forget Babar can yield boundaries with his wrists especially when it’s about late cutting a yorker.

And to contain runs, Pakistan perhaps has the best individual to seal the job, as someone like Shaheen Afridi has now finally learned to bowl some fierce spells in the death overs of play.

His accuracy with yorkers is now highly remarkable and it&#8217;s also a stock delivery for Shaheen to deal with such crunch situations. Overall, undeniably Shaheen Afridi can be the underdog who can even defend run-a-ball totals.

6. Bangladesh: Batting &#8211; Mahmudullah Riyad, Mushfiqur Rahim &amp; Liton Das; Bowler &#8211; Mustafizur Rahman

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-372450" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Mustafizur-Rahman-picture.jpg" alt="Mustafizur Rahman" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-372450" class="wp-caption-text">Mustafizur Rahman. (Photo by Andy Kearns/Getty Images)</figcaption>

Even the Bangladeshi team has been elsewhere when it comes to playing super overs, but in case if the situation arises then the team mostly has a substantial combination to contest with. For batting, surely someone like Mahmudullah is a prime pick majorly because of his quality hitting who in particular should also form a distinctive pair with wicket-keeper batsman <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/bangladesh-vs-sri-lanka-odi-series-stats-review-kusal-pereras-records-mushfiqur-rahims-milestones-and-more-stats/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mushfiqur Rahim</a>.

Mushfiqur Rahim, as we all know is a witty batter who mainly produces more boundaries than sixes. His pawky lapses and sweeps are often his go-to strokes especially when fielders are inside the ring and can also run quickly between the wickets.

However, to follow them, someone like Liton Das has now become an exemplary option, who not only can smack the ball for sixes but also can collect quality boundaries. And for handling the bowling proceedings, Mushfiqur Rahmin looks to be well equipped of all pacers, as he not only has a realm of variations under him but also a sense of bowling quality yorkers.

Especially on uneven pitches, his bowling can turn up as havoc for batters who in particular might grapple to score big. Overall, with super overs being all about fine margins, Rahman’s bowling has the aptness to win games for Bangladesh.

7. West Indies: Batting &#8211; Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard &amp; Andre Russell; Bowling &#8211; Dwayne Bravo

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-357993" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/CT_344144.jpg" alt width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-357993" class="wp-caption-text">LONDON, ENGLAND &#8211; MAY 31: Andre Russell.

For West Indies, since most of their players play a plethora of T20 cricket, it can be difficult to select a match-winning super over combination. But with the team also now containing the everlasting presence of players like Chris Gayle and Dwayne Bravo, it is best to exhibit a combination that involves the best envoys of the T20 format.

To open with, Chris Gayle is a customary option as time and again, the universal boss has proved to be an effective candidate in super over situations. The kind of hitting range which <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cpl-2021-chris-gayle-makes-a-comeback-in-st-kitts-and-nevis-patriots-faf-du-plessis-roped-in-by-st-lucia-zouks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chris Gayle</a> possesses can be completely on par with the batting of skipper Kieron Pollard which in general can make any bowler cause blunders perhaps even mainly by their mere presence.

However, to further run the hitting feast, Andre Russell can then chip in for a short Russell-Muscle show. Even to handle the bowling constraints, the West Indies team has the best steadfast services of Dwayne Bravo, who predominantly has handled all sorts of pressure situations.

The veteran pacer perhaps has the finest of variations, which with his upright field settings, has often contained runs economically. Also, with Bravo being the most well-versed pacer in terms of the subcontinent conditions, his overall bowling prospect can still produce wins for West Indies.

8. South Africa: Batting &#8211; Quinton De Kock, David Miller &amp; Rassie van der Dussen; Bowling &#8211; Kagiso Rabada

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-479556" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Quinton-de-Kock-3.jpg" alt="Quinton de Kock" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-479556" class="wp-caption-text">Quinton de Kock. (Photo Source: Getty Images)</figcaption>

With the South African side still being a work-in-progress team, their super over combination definitely needs to be of players who are capable enough to handle utter pressure situations. So to open up with, the pair of Quinton De Kock and David Miller can be an effective duo, as both the batters can be very unpredictable with their stroke play.

Further, while de Kock can still look to hit the ball in gaps, David Miller in particular can be the man in charge of hitting towering sixes. And in case if any one of them departs early, then Rassie van der Dussen thus essentially becomes a viable candidate to boost up the scoring.

As a middle-order batsman, Rassie is well known for his attacking gameplay which also perhaps means that he can instantaneously play the big shots. Overall, he also has the reputation of playing unconventional shots which in general might help South Africa to deal with big totals.

For bowling, unarguably <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2021-kagiso-rabadas-full-toss-sends-chris-gayles-stumps-flying-all-over-the-place-in-pbks-vs-dc-clash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kagiso Rabada</a> is the most ultimate choice which the South African team has, especially when considering his record in super overs. Not long ago, the speedster had successfully defended a super over for his IPL franchise which also had involved a face-off against Andre Russell. Hence, with his bowling containing everything such as pace, bouncers, yorkers, and variations, often he should be able to triumph his team out from most situations.

These players know the art of delivering under pressure.

Team-wise Super Over combinations for T20 World Cup 2021

The 2021 ICC T20 World Cup which is now just more than four months away, is now finally all set to take its course in the October - November
