• Fakhar Zaman and Imam ul Haq's 302 run opening partnership is the highest partnership by any Pakistani batsman
• Fakhar Zaman and Imam ul Haq's 302 run opening partnership is the highest partnership in an away game

• Pakistan's 399 total is our highest ever ODI score!
• Pakistan's 399 is the highest ever score made in Zimbabwe

Sorry if I missed anything

Fakhar is the first double centurion for Pakistan.

 

[msb314]

Fakhar is the first double centurion for Pakistan.

I guess the first record kind of implies that

So much Humiliation

Offtopic;

Has Pakistan won any ODI series 5-0 previously? Or will this be a record?

Has there been a more one sided 5 match ODI series ever in the history of the game?

Yes we just recently won the ODI series against Sri Lanka last year 5-0. And as far as the one sided series go, i think this is the most one sided series ever lol we absolutely demolished them, it's getting worse for Zim every game.

The 24 fours Fakhar Zaman hit during his innings is the most by any Pakistani in an ODI innings

Also first time Pakistan have batted out their 50 overs having lost only 1 wicket.

Fakhar Zaman's 210* is the highest score by any batsman in an away game

Some people mistakenly mention Gayle's 215 but that's only if you consider away and neutral together. Gayle's 215 was at a neutral venue which technically doesn't really come under 'away'

Fakhar need 129 to break record for highest run tally in any bilateral series.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Well done Fakhar man. Damn he's been demolishing this Zim team.

 

[Rahul1]

First 400+ score for Pakistan in ODIs. Congratulations.

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

What's maximum century partnerships for opening wicket in a bilateral series

 

[Abdullah719]

What's maximum century partnerships for opening wicket in a bilateral series

Four for Fakhar/Imam and Farhat/Hameed.

 

[Aman]

All records should be wiped off after this series finishes!!! Pathetic Zimbo team.

I actually want Imam to score a double and break Fakhar's 1,000 run record for the lols

 

[Rahul1]

Four for Fakhar/Imam and Farhat/Hameed.

Wait when did Farhat and Hameed did that?

 

[Aman]

Is Imam the fastest player to 500 runs?

 

[Abdullah719]

Wait when did Farhat and Hameed did that?

Pakistan vs NZ 2004.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Yes we just recently won the ODI series against Sri Lanka last year 5-0. And as far as the one sided series go, i think this is the most one sided series ever lol we absolutely demolished them, it's getting worse for Zim every game.

The 2008 ODI series against Zimbabwe was also pretty one sided which we won 5-0

Yeah but these matches we won comprehensively, every defeat for Zimbabwe was very embarrassing. The series you are referring to was also one sided, i agree but in this one Pakistan was ruthless.

That's because this Zimbabwe side is too deep with conflicts with their board. Imagine not having been paid for almost a year, how will they be motivating themselves to play. That too, with an unpredictable board without their core players and without any facilities. If Zimbabwe get to have the facilities that Bangladesh or even Afghanistan or Ireland do, they can become a very very decent ODI side atleast. Even though I fancy their chances in Tests as well, Jarvis, Chatara, Payangara and Cremer supplemented by Raza, Williams and Chigumbura can take 20 wickets if well nurtured. The last silver lining in ZC was when Allan Butcher was their headcoach back in 2010-2013. Eversince, it has been havoc for them. They have such a talented bunch, even more so than Ireland and Scotland, they just need proper structure and facilities to hone their skills.

Coming on to the ruthlessness, yes, Pakistan under Sarfraz definitely is a ruthless one. He is a captain who doesn't let his players go complacent after a victory, he is always pushing them for better results. For example, if we look at Pak Cricket from 2010 till 2016, we hardly ever won 2 matches in a row especially in T20is. It happened way too frequently that we would lose the 2nd match after winning the previous one owing to the complanceny. Things are looking much better under Sarfraz. Just hoping he can get his form back in longer formats. Even today, our batters were quite focused which hasn't ever happened before. Hopefully this trend will continue.

Yeah if Zimbabwe get all of their main players back then yes they will be a much better team and probably will be able to compete with the big teams. There structure needs significant improvements in order for the players to perform because in the qualifiers they had a full strength team I believe and they still didn't qualify, that tells you that there is something wrong in the domestic circuit.

Going back on the ruthless topic, yeah i believe Sarfraz is the key behind all of this, some people might not like when he yells at the players but i think this is what motivates them to do better. He was finding form in the tri series so hopefully he will be back with a bang in the Asia Cup/Test Series.
