Most Wickets

Vienna T10 League Highest Wicket-takers

Kumud Jha of Indian CC Vienna is still placed at the top of the highest wicket-takers list of the Vienna T10 League 2020 before the knockout stage encounters. He has scalped 14 wickets in the seven matches that he has played. His spell of 4/11 is the best bowling effort of the tournament so far and he also has an acceptable economy rate of 7.71.

Zabi Ibrahim of Vienna Afghan CC and Zeeshan Goraya of Salzburg CC are the second-most successful bowlers of the tournament to date with 11 wickets each. The former is placed higher on the wicket-taking charts due to his superior strike rate of 7.09.

While Ibrahim has a best bowling effort of 3/13, Goraya has 3/20 as his best figures. But both of them have been quite expensive, having conceded 8.92 and 10.37 runs per over respectively.

All the bowlers from the four semi-finalists would be looking to displace Kumud Jha from the top of the highest wicket-takers list of the Vienna T10 League 2020.
