Stats: A day to remember for Fakhar and Imam

The rare individual feats of Fakhar and Imam

1 Fakhar Zaman became the first Pakistan batsman to score an ODI double hundred. The record for the highest individual score for Pakistan in ODIs was held for a long time by Saeed Anwar with his then world record score of 194 against India at Chepauk in 1997. It also happens to be the highest individual score by a player from Pakistan in all List A cricket surpassing Abid Ali's 209* for Islamabad against Peshawar earlier this year.

Highest individual scores for Pakistan

0 Scores higher than Fakhar Zaman's 210* in ODIs played in Zimbabwe. He went past Charles Coventry's unbeaten 194 against Bangladesh in Bulawayo in 2009 which incidentally broke Saeed Anwar's then record of the highest individual score in ODIs.

Highest individual scores in all ODIs

17 Innings taken by Fakhar Zaman to reach his maiden double hundred - the quickest by any player. Of the five other players to score ODI double hundreds, the fewest number of innings taken was 103 each by Rohit Sharma (in 2013) and Martin Guptill (in 2015).

8 Innings taken by Imam-ul-Haq to reach his third ODI century - the fewest by any player in the history of ODI cricket. He scored a hundred on his debut against Sri Lanka last October and scored his second one in the first ODI of the ongoing series in Bulawayo. The fewest innings taken by any player to reach three ODI hundreds was nine each by Denis Amiss and Kevin Pietersen.

22 Balls Taken by Asif Ali to reach his maiden ODI fifty. It is the joint fastest for Pakistan by any player apart Shahid Afridi in ODIs. Abdul Razzaq (vs England, Karachi, 2005) and Mohammad Amir (vs England, Trent Bridge, 2016) have also scored fifties off 22 balls each. For the record, Afridi has scored nine fifties in 22 or fewer balls in ODIs - the most by any player.

The record first wicket stand

304-run stand between Imam and Fakhar is the first ever 300-plus stand for the first wicket in ODI cricket. The pair went past the 12-year old record held by the Sri Lankan duo of Sanath Jayasuriya and Upul Tharanga against England at Leeds in 2006.

Highest opening partnership in ODIs

4This was the fourth ever 300-plus stand for any wicket in all ODIs.

263 The previous highest stand for Pakistan for any wicket in ODI cricket. Inzamam-ul-Haq and Aamer Sohail put together 263 for the second wicket against New Zealand in Sharjah in 1994. The previous highest opening partnership for them was 228* by Mohammad Hafeez and Imran Farhat against Zimbabwe in Harare in 2011.
