The upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 will see several quality pacers giving their absolute best for the team. With the T20 World Cup being conducted in USA and West Indies, the conditions for the fast bowling might not be very helpful.

On that note, let us take a look at such 5 pacers who can be the game changers in T20 World Cup.
| Player | Country |
| Jasprit Bumrah | India |
| Mitchell Starc | Australia |
| Shaheen Afridi | Pakistan |
| Matheesha Pathirana | Sri Lanka |
| Jofra Archer | England |
Game changing pacers in T20 World Cup
Jasprit Bumrah (India)
Express pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been in phenomenal form in the ongoing IPL 2024. Currently, he is the leading wicket-taker in IPL 2024 with 13 scalps to his name. He also has a five-wicket haul in the ongoing edition. Bumrah is expected to lead the Indian bowling line-up in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
Mitchell Starc (Australia)
Aussie pacer Mitchell Starc is undoubtedly a game changer. Despite not being in best of the forms recently, Starc can bamboozle any batting line-up on the given day. The left-arm pacer has the ability to swing the new ball. He is likely to bowl in the death overs as well during the T20 World Cup.
Shaheen Afridi (Pakistan)
Shaheen Afridi is quite deadly with the new ball. He is a genuine wicket-taker and has the ability to stem the flow of runs as well. The left-arm pacer is expected to play a crucial role if Pakistan are going to win their second T20 World Cup title.
Matheesha Pathirana (Sri Lanka)
Playing in IPL 2024, Matheesha Pathirana has scalped 11 wickets in just 5 outings for CSK. Pathirana’s slingy action makes him a difficult bowler to face. Apart from his yorkers, Pathirana has a sharp bouncer and a deceptive slower ball as well. Pathirana will look to make an impact with the ball in the upcoming T20 World Cup.
Jofra Archer (England)
England’s Jofra Archer has been out of competitive cricket for a decent amount of time. However, the right-arm pacer is expected to play in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Archer’s express pace makes him stand out from other bowlers. He will be hoping to have a good outing in the upcoming event.
