In the short and fast-paced game of T20I cricket, batters try to hit the ball in all directions to score quickly. Despite this, certain bowlers can stop them by being very precise and skillful with their deliveries.
These bowlers are very good at controlling where the ball goes, which makes it harder for batters to score runs. Because of this, they give away fewer runs overall, helping them maintain a strong bowling average. This means that, on average, they give up fewer runs for every batter they get out.
Here are the top 10 bowlers with the best bowling averages in T20Is.
