Pace bowling is a style of bowling in cricket where the bowler delivers the ball at high speed, typically over 80 miles per hour. This technique relies on the bowler's ability to generate pace and movement, making it challenging for batsmen to hit the ball effectively. Pace bowlers often use variations in speed, seam position, and swing to deceive the batsman. Pace bowlers are usually classified into two categories: fast bowlers and medium-pace bowlers. Fast bowlers aim for maximum speed and often rely on bounce and aggression, while medium-pace bowlers focus on accuracy and movement. Both types play a crucial role in a cricket team's strategy.
