<strong>Top 10 Best bowling figures in ODIs:</strong> ODIs are considered to be ideal for both the Batsmen and the Bowler but it doesn&#8217;t mean the works cut out for them, much like the longer format of Test cricket bowlers have to bowl longer but a limited spell of 10 overs. The strength and agility of a bowler is put to test in the demanding game of One Day Internationals.

<strong>Let&#8217;s have a look at the Top 10 Best bowling figures in ODIs:</strong>

<strong>10. </strong><strong>Winston Davis &#8211; 7/51:</strong>

<p><strong>Top 10 Best bowling figures in ODIs:</strong> ODIs are considered to be ideal for both the Batsmen and the Bowler but it doesn&#8217;t mean the works cut out for them, much like the longer format of Test cricket bowlers have to bowl longer but a limited spell of 10 overs. The strength and agility of a bowler is put to test in the demanding game of One Day Internationals.</p>
<h5><strong>Let&#8217;s have a look at the Top 10 Best bowling figures in ODIs:</strong></h5>
<h4><strong>10. </strong><strong>Winston Davis &#8211; 7/51:</strong></h4>

Davis bowled with a short run-up generating good pace, he was a part of the World cup squad of 1983 where he took 7 for 51. Although his career ended up abruptly in 1998 when he was left paralysed from the neck down after suffering spinal injuries when he fell from a tree.</p>

<p>South African leg-spinner Imran Tahir enjoyed his time out at the Warner Park in Basseterre, St Kitts. The Proteas were up against West Indies and was a must win game for the team to keep their tri-series final qualification hopes alive. After posting a huge 343 runs on the board AB de Villiers looked up to his bowlers to restrict the Windies, Tahir responded superbly to the occasion and recorded his career best figures of 7/45 ensuring a 139-run victory for the team.</p>
