Best Economy in T20 World Cup 2024: In a grand event like the T20 World Cup, apart from picking wickets, every bowler will be keen to maintain their economy as low as possible in order to restrict the run flow.
In cricket, the economy rate is defined as the average number of runs a bowler conceded per over-bowled.
The 9th edition of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is set to be hosted by the USA and West Indies between June 02 and June 29. A total of 55 matches is set to be played among 20 nations across various venues in the USA and Caribbean.
It will be the first time the US has hosted a World Cup, with multiple Stadiums across the country either being newly built or repurposed for cricket.
Tim Southee (NZ) has the best economy rate of 3.00 in the T20 World Cup 2024 picking 7 wickets in three matches he played.

Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 Rules and Regulations
The T20 World Cup has certain rules and regulations defined by the International Cricket Council to be followed by all teams participating in the qualifiers and main event.
- The tournament is played in a T20 format so that both teams will face 20 overs unless they are bowled out beforehand or the second batting team reaches the target before then.
- Each innings will have a six-over powerplay and there are certain restrictions in that phase.
- All the fixtures should last three hours and 10 minutes, with each inning getting one hour and 25 minutes, separated by a 20-minute interval.
- The tournament will feature the stop-clock rule which suggests the bowling side must be ready to bowl each over within 60 seconds after completing the previous over.
- Each side will be allowed two unsuccessful reviews per inning. If the second batting team completes their innings by levelling the score, the match will go to a super over (each team will face six balls – the highest score wins). If that finishes a tie, super-overs will continue to be played until a winner is found.
- If any match is interrupted due to rain or other reasons, the game will result if both sides have played a minimum of five overs in the group stages, which rises to 10 overs in the knock-out stages.
- If a match is halted after that point due to weather conditions, DLS (Duckworth Lewis Stern method) will decide the winner.
- The first semi-finals and finals will have a reserve day, but the semi-final match will have an additional 250 minutes.
