The game will be played at the Oval in London from June 7 and it could be interesting to see which performances would prevail in the clash.

Over the years, the bowlers have played huge parts in leading their teams to a win in the World Test Championship, ultimately leading them to a win in the final as well. Continuing upon the same, let us have a look at the top three players with the most wickets in the WTC.

Pat Cummins

One of the best pacers in world cricket and current Australian skipper Pat Cummins sits in third place in the list of players with the most wickets in World Test Championship history. With 123 wickets to his name, Pat Cummins is one of the most successful bowlers in the competition’s history, and the Australian skipper would be keen on staying on top of his game.
