T20 World Cup: Shakib al Hasan leads bowling charts
Shakib al Hasan showed in the T20 World Cup group stages just why he is one of the best all-rounders in the business. He not only sits in third position in the batting charts, but also is the leading wicket-taker in the tournament so far.
Shakib al Hasan has scalped nine wickets in three matches.
Sri Lanka's Maheesh Theekshana and Scotland's Josh Davey are close behind in second place, with eight scalps apiece. Theekshana, however, has a better economy rate.
The top five is completed by two more Sri Lanka bowlers, with Lahiru Kumara in fourth with seven wickets and Wanindu Hasaranga fifth with six.
