All-time greatest ODI left-handed XI from Asia

#2 Fast Bowlers

Wasim Akram spearheads a strong pace bowling attack

With 502 wickets from 356 ODIs at an average of 23.52 and economy-rate of 3.89, Wasim Akram remains the most prolific fast bowler in the history of the 50-over format. The left-armer's impeccable capacity to swing the new ball and reverse the older one at sharp pace enabled him to garner six five-wicket hauls. 3717 runs at a handy strike-rate of 88.33 stand as testament to his explosiveness with the bat as well.

Often finding himself as the sole reliable custodian of Sri Lanka's pace attack, Chaminda Vaas rarely let his country down and tirelessly delivered probing spells on a consistent basis. While he did not possess eye-catching pace, the southpaw's immaculate control and smart use of various angles helped him procure 400 scalps from 322 ODIs at an average of 27.53 and economy-rate of 4.18 with 4 five-wicket hauls. As evidenced by a tally of more than 2000 runs, he could also chip in with the bat.

Zaheer Khan completes a potent pace attack in the all-time left-handed Asian XI. His profound knowledge on the intricacies of various situations played an instrumental role in India's euphoric campaign in the 2011 World Cup. In a memorable career spanning from 2000 to 2012, the wily seamer played 200 ODIs and snared 282 wickets at an average of 29.43 and economy-rate of 4.93.
