Following Pakistan's 3-1 Twenty20 victory over the West Indies, Imad Wasim has jumped to number two in the ICC T20 bowler's rankings.

Sandwiched between South African Imran Tahir (at number one) and Indian medium-pacer Jasprit Bumrah at number three, Imad's recent bowling figures justify his position with ease.

In the 19 matches he played this season, Imad has taken 23 wickets with an economy rate of 5.83.
