Top 10 ODI bowlers with the best economy rate of all time 

#6 Shaun Pollock – 3.67

Shaun Pollock followed the footsteps of his father Peter Pollock and Uncle Graeme Pollock and went on to become a South African legend. He was one of the best fast-bowling all-rounders to have played for South Africa.

Shaun Pollock was very consistent across formats throughout his career. He started his ODI career with a bang, as he took 4/34 on debut against England at Newlands. Pollock had the unique ability to move the ball both ways at a decent pace. Hence, he was one of the best new-ball bowlers during his time.

Pollock took a staggering 393 wickets in his 303-match ODI career. His economy of 3.67 was excellent as well.

#5 Ewen Chatfield – 3.58

Ewen Chatfield was one of the most accurate bowlers of his time. He forged a wonderful new-ball partnership with Sir Richard Hadlee and mainly remained in the latter’s shadows.

Chatfield's accuracy was such that Pakistan great Javed Miandad once said, “Chatfield came as close to a bowling machine as any human I know. He would pick a spot and keep pitching on it, delivery after delivery”.

Hence, batsmen very rarely got bad deliveries from this hard-working Wellington pacer.

Chatfield played 114 ODIs and picked 140 wickets at an excellent economy of 3.58.
