Former Zimbabwe captain <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/heath-streak-undergoing-treatment-after-being-diagnosed-with-cancer-5047/" title=" Heath Streak " target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Heath Streak </strong></a>has been diagnosed with cancer and currently, he is getting treated for the disease in South Africa. Streak, who turned 49 a few months back, played a lot of cricket for Zimbabwe in 1990s and 2000s. After making his international debut in 1993, he rose to the ranks at a rapid pace in One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and Tests. &nbsp;

In the 2000s, Streak captained Zimbabwe but the differences between him and the Zimbabwean Cricket board forced the former to resign from the captaincy in 2004. After retiring from all forms of cricket, he made his way into the coaching field. In the cash-rich&nbsp;<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league/" title=" Indian Premier League " target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Indian Premier League </strong></a>(IPL), Streak served Gujarat Lions and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2017 and 2018 respectively as their bowling coach.

Here are the three best bowling performances of Heath Streak&nbsp;

3. 4/18 vs Pakistan in 1997, 1996–97 Singer Akai Cup

In the 1996-97 Singer-Akai Cup, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Zimbabwe competed against one another in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). At the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Zimbabwe and Pakistan locked horns in the sixth match of the tournament. For both teams, it was a do-or-die game as Sri Lanka were already into the final.

Pakistan captain Wasim Akram won the toss and put his team to bat first. In the crucial contest, Streak showcased his best with the ball against Pakistan’s quality batting attack. Bowling his 10-over spell, he dismissed Mohammad Wasim, Moin Khan, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/najam-sethi-should-know-that-hes-sitting-on-a-powerful-seat-so-dont-keep-changing-your-stance-repeatedly-shahid-afridi/" title="Shahid Afridi" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Shahid Afridi</strong></a>, and Saqlain Mushtaq.&nbsp;

Riding on his superb bowling performance, Zimbabwe contained the opponents to a mere 151/9 in their 50 overs. Despite Streak’s phenomenal efforts, Akram and his men pocketed the match in the end by 32 runs as the Zimbabwe batters capitulated in front of Pakistan’s disciplined bowling. However, Streak, who picked up 4/18 figures in his 10 overs, came out as the most efficient bowler in the match.

2. 4/8 vs West Indies in 2001, 2000–01 Australia Tri-Nation Series

Zimbabwe toured Australia in January 2001 to participate in the ODI tri-series that involved them, Australia and the West Indies. After losing their first match against the Caribbeans in the second game of the competition, Zimbabwe faced the Jimmy Adams-led West Indies at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) in match six.&nbsp;

Streak, who was the Zimbabwe captain then, lost the toss to his counterpart Adams and the Windies skipper invited Zimbabwe to bat first. Confronting the powerful West Indies bowlers, Streak and his boys were bundled out on 138 in 47.2 overs. After putting up a low score on the board, Zimbabwe were expected to be on the losing side again.

However, Streak, who powered his team with his 45-run knock off 70, spearheaded his team's bowling unit and remained unplayable till the end of the game. Playing the role of a destroyer-in-chief, the pacer helped his side to wrap the West Indies innings on 91, with his match-winning 4/8. At the end of the game, he also received the Player of the Match award, for his outstanding batting and bowling displays.

1. 5/32 vs India in 1997, India tour of Zimbabwe 1996-97

In February 1997, the Sachin Tendulkar-led Indian team visited Zimbabwe for a two-match ODI series. Hosting the Indian team in the first ODI at Queen’s Sports Club in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe thrashed the visitors by eight wickets (revised target). Earlier, against the potent Indian side, Zimbabwe skipper, Alistair Campbell won the toss and elected to field first.

Streak, who was one of the youngest players in the Zimbabwe squad, produced fire with the ball and helped his team to be in a commanding position. Picking up a 5/32 in his 8.5 overs, he ceased India on an underwhelming total of 168 in 43.5 overs. During his incredible spell, he dismissed Ajay Jadeja and Robin Singh to destroy India’s middle order.

At the end of the day, the hosts emerged victorious in the curtailed game and Streak won the Player of the Match for his excellent fifer. Till the end of his international career, this swashbuckling bowling performance against the sub-continent country remained his best in ODIs.
