On the other hand, Pakistan defeated Sri Lanka last night (Oct 10) in Hyderabad chasing down 345 runs in what was the highest successful run-chase in the ODI World Cup matches. Here are some of the records created during the match!
8 - Number of matches Pakistan and Sri Lanka played in the ODI World Cups so far including last night's game. Incidentally, Pakistan won all these games!
4 - Number of centuries scored in this match! Sri Lanka's Kusal Mendis and Sadeera Samarawickrama and Pakistan's Abdullah Shafique and Mohammad Rizwan have all scored centuries. This is only the first time as many as 4 centuries were scored in a single ODI World Cup match!
4 - This is the fourth instance that 3 or more hundreds were scored in a single ODI World Cup match and Sri Lanka is part of all those four instances. This is some coincidence!
65 - Number of deliveries taken by Kusal Mendis to complete his hundred. This is Sri Lanka's fastest hundred in terms of deliveries faced in an ODI World Cup match!
262 - The highest successful run chase for Pakistan in ODI World Cups before this game! In this Sri Lanka match in Hyderabad, they chased 344 runs with 6 wickets in hand and 10 balls to spare in their innings!
