Live Cricket Online

Pakistan tour to West Indies begins today. After disappointing end to the World Cup campaign, its time for these two teams to revive. Let us have a look on few of the ODI records between these two teams.

If we talk about highest runs scorers in the matches between Pakistan and West Indies, it is Desmond Haynes who scored 2390 runs in 65 innings. He scored 18 half centuries and 4 centuries against Pakistan with a highest score of 142. For Pakistan, Javed Miandad tops the list with 1930 runs in 64 innings. He scored 12 half centuries and 1 century. Highest score 100 not out.

Yes nowadays cricket is a batsmen game but we can't write off the bowlers' efforts. Wasim Akram was the highest wicket taker for matches played between these two countries. He took 89 wickets in 64 matches. Best bowling figures of 5 for 38. For West Indies it was Ambrose who took 69 wickets in just 44 matches. Best figures of 5 for 53.

Highest ODI total was by West Indies. They scored 339 for 4 at Adelaide in 2005. Highest by Pakistan was 307 for 8 at Perth in the same year.

There are many more records to be mentioned here. Cricket is a game of records being created and broken. Let us hope few are broken and few are created in this series which begins today.
