PAK vs SL: List Of Records Broken In High-Scoring World Cup Thriller

The Pakistan vs Sri Lanka match in the Cricket World Cup 2023 turned out to be a high-scoring thriller, with the two teams putting nearly 700 runs on the board cumulatively. In different phases of the match, both seemed to have had some sort of edge, but it was Mohammad Rizwan's unbeaten knock of 131 runs that proved to be the difference maker. The wicket-keeper batter, however, was only one of the four players in the match who went on to register triple-digit scores.

Batting first, Sri Lanka put a total of 344 runs on the board, thanks to centuries from Kusal Mendis and Sadeera Samarawickrama. For Pakistan, the likes of Abdullah Shafique and Mohammad Rizwan scored centuries, as the latter remained unebaten till the end despite apparent injury issues.

As Pakistan chased down the target, record books were rewritten. Here are some of the milestones that were reached in the match:

Highest scores for Pakistan wicketkeepers in ODIs: Mohammad Rizwan's unbeaten 131 is the highest score for a Pakistani wicketkeeper in ODIs. Some of the other top scorers are:

124 - Kamran Akmal vs WI, Brisbane, 2005
116* - Kamran Akmal vs AUS, Abu Dhabi, 2009
115 - Mohammad Rizwan vs AUS, Sharjah, 2019

Highest target successfully chased in World Cups: Pakistan's successful run-chase of 345 runs is the highest in an ODI World Cup match. The previous best were:

328 by IRE vs ENG, Bengaluru, 2011
322 by BAN vs WI, Taunton, 2019
319 by BAN vs SCO, Nelson, 2015
313 by SL vs ZIM, New Plymouth, 1992

Most hundreds scored in an ODI match: No ODI has seen more than 4 centuries being scored in a single contest. But, it was the first time such a thing happened in a World Cup match. Other occasions:

4 - PAK vs AUS, Lahore, 1998
4 - IND vs AUS, Nagpur, 2013

Most wins against a team without any loss in World Cups: Pakistan now have 8 wins against Sri Lanka in World Cups, the most for a single team. Some of the other teams with similar results are:

7 - India vs Pakistan
6 - West Indies vs Zimbabwe

Quite a few matches have been high-scoring contests in the Cricket World Cup 2023. More are likely to follow.

156.7 Kmph Sensation Awaits India Debut, Bangladesh Start Life After Shakib

Pace sensation Mayank Yadav is expected to unleash his raw speed while the absence of India's T20 regulars will provide another opportunity to the fringe players in the three-match series against Bangladesh, beginning here Sunday. Having consistently generated speed in excess of 150kmph in his maiden IPL earlier this year, Mayank had drawn the attention of the cricketing world before a side strain ruled him out of the tournament. Usually, one has to prove fitness in domestic cricket to be considered for national selection but the 22-year-old has been fast-tracked into the side considering his special talent. The series against Bangladesh will be a test of his fitness and temperament. It is yet to be figured if he can display the same accuracy and control that he exhibited in the IPL. Besides Mayank, fellow Delhi pacer Harshit Rana and all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy could also make their India debut over the course of the series. Nitish was picked for the Zimbabwe tour post the T...

PCB Not Happy With Pak Star Over Social Media Post On Babar Snub: Report

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is not pleased that Fakhar Zaman questioned the selection panel's decision to sideline Babar Azam from the Test side. The panel dropped former captain Babar Azam when they announced the squad for the remaining two Tests against England in Multan and Rawalpindi. Zaman took to X to question the decision, inviting the ire of the PCB. "The top board officials are not pleased with the tweet sent out by Fakhar and relevant persons are having a word with him about it," a well-informed PCB source said. "It's concerning to hear suggestions about dropping Babar Azam. India didn't bench Virat Kohli during his rough stretch between 2020 and 2023, when he averaged 19.33, 28.21, and 26.50, respectively. "If we are considering sidelining our premier batsman, arguably the best Pakistan has ever produced, it could send a deeply negative message across the team. There is still time to avoid pressing the panic button; we should focus on sa...

Shakib Al Hasan's Fans Attacked During Protest In Dhaka Amid Tight Security

A group of people attacked Shakib Al Hasan's fans during a protest in Dhaka on Sunday amid tight security, an eye witness said. Shakib Al Hasan wanted to retire from Test cricket by playing the series against South Africa in Bangladesh. The BCB responded positively to his request and included him in the squad against South Africa. But he was advised by the Bangladesh government not to enter the country due to security reasons while in transit through Dubai on his way back to Bangladesh from the US. Fans had been protesting outside the cricket stadium in Mirpur for several days to protest against Shakib's ban from playing the farewell Test in Bangladesh. On Sunday, a group of people suddenly attacked them with sticks. At that time, the army and law enforcement personnel who were there brought the situation under control by blowing whistles. Notably, Shakib officially joined the Awami League party in 2023. He filed the nomination from the Magura-1 parliamentary seat as an Awami...
