The five frontline bowlers of Australia in T20 internationals namely Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Kane Richardson, Adam Zampa and Ashton Agar have an economy of less than 7 in T20Is which has been one of the main reasons for the success of the team.

The trio of Starc, Cummins and Richardson have been exceptional for Australia in the power play and the death overs and they have played the dual role of picking up wickets and controlling the scoring rate in the said overs.

Apart from the above mentioned bowlers, Australia able replacements in Billy Stanlake, Sean Abbott and Andrew Tye who have been impressive in the limited opportunities they have played for Australia.

The spin duo comprising of Zampa and Agar too have been impressive for Australia in the middle overs.

An economy of 6.54 in 26 overs in 2019 is testimony to Zampa's role in the team. He has picked up 6 wickets in the said 26 overs at an average of 28.33.
