A pace bowler is a type of bowler in the sport of cricket who delivers the ball at high speeds, typically over 85 miles per hour. Their primary goal is to outpace the batsman, making it difficult for them to hit the ball effectively. Pace bowlers rely on speed, bounce, and seam movement to take wickets and restrict runs. Pace bowlers can be categorized into two main types: fast bowlers and medium-pace bowlers. Fast bowlers focus on delivering the ball at maximum speed, while medium-pace bowlers bowl at a slightly slower pace, often using variations in spin and swing to deceive batsmen. Both types play a crucial role in a cricket team's bowling strategy.
