    Ever since the Asia Cup switched to the T20 format in 2016, and 2022, bowlers have had to work extra hard to make their mark. T20 is usually called a batsman’s game, but a few bowlers have shown that clever variations and smart spells can change the course of a match. Here are the five leading wicket-takers in Asia Cup T20 history, judged not only by the number of wickets they took but also by how consistently they performed across different editions.

    Rashid Khan is one of the best T20 bowlers in the game today. Across 8 Asia Cup T20 matches between 2016 and 2022, he claimed 11 wickets, averaging 18.36. His sharp leg-spin, clever variations, and ability to keep things tight in the middle overs make him a key player for Afghanistan.

    5. Hardik Pandya (India) – 11 Wickets

    Hardik Pandya, India’s pace-bowling all-rounder, also makes it into the top five. In 8 Asia Cup T20 matches across 2016 and 2022, he picked up 11 wickets. His career-best figures of 3/8 came in an electrifying spell that turned the game in India’s favor. With a bowling average of 18.81 and a strike rate of 16.09, Hardik has become a vital wicket-taking option in the middle overs, proving he’s more than just a powerful batsman.

    6. Al-Amin Hossain (Bangladesh) – 11 Wickets

    Al-Amin Hossain

    Al-Amin Hossain had a fantastic tournament in 2016, claiming 11 wickets in just five matches. His early breakthroughs were crucial in helping Bangladesh secure victories during the group stages. Even today, his strike rate from that tournament ranks among the best in Asia Cup T20 history.

    7. Wanindu Hasaranga (Sri Lanka) – 9 Wickets

His performances have made him one of the top wicket-takers in Asia Cup T20 history.

    8. Shadab Khan (Pakistan) – 8 Wickets

    Shadab Khan

    Shadab Khan was one of Pakistan’s most reliable T20 players in the 2022 Asia Cup. With 8 wickets to his name, his aggressive spin often broke key partnerships, and his contributions in the field added extra value, making him a crucial all-rounder for the team.

    9. Mohammad Nawaz (Pakistan) – 8 Wickets

    Mohammad Nawaz

    Mohammad Nawaz has been a key figure in Pakistan’s T20 bowling attack, bringing variety with his left-arm spin. Over 8 innings, he has taken 8 wickets at an average of 21.75 and a strike rate of 18.50, consistently controlling the middle overs and providing crucial breakthroughs for his team.

    10. Haris Rauf (Pakistan) – 8 Wickets

    Haris Rauf

    Haris Rauf, Pakistan’s fast-bowling leader, added raw pace and aggression to the 2022 Asia Cup. Bowling consistently over 145 km/h, he proved deadly in both the powerplay and death overs, making him a crucial part of Pakistan’s bowling attack as they head into the 2025 season.
