Our T20 International (T20I) ratings take into account all matches from the first T20I match on February 17, 2005 till the below mentioned
last update date. Most of our ratings are dynamic, and as new matches are played, the rating of earlier bowlers may change if current
bowlers set new benchmarks. Brief explanation of the ratings is given before each section
(Detailed Explanation). So, here are the Top 10 Asian Fast bowlers in matches In Asia in T20Is.

- Ratings of all sections are calculated similarly with Ave being replaced by the Criteria Stat.
- Knock Out matches of T20 World Cup are also counted in TT.
