Shahid Afridi has now become the only player in ODI history
Shahid Afridi has now become the only player in ODI history to
score 7000 or more runs and take 350 wickets. Dwayne Bravo's wicket was
Afridi's 350th, making him only the eighth bowler, and the third Pakistan bowler after Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis, in ODIs to take these many. The only other player to take 300-plus wickets and score 7000-plus runs in ODIs is Sanath Jayasuriya.
Afridi has taken a five-wicket haul and hit fifty-plus
runs in a match three times in his career. No other player has repeated
this feat more than once. The last time this was done in ODIs was also
by Afridi, against Sri Lanka, in 2011. This was the 16th instance of an player taking a five-wicket haul and scoring fifty or more runs in the same match.
Afridi's bowling figures of 7 for 12 were the second-best in ODIs. The best figures in ODIs belong to
Chaminda Vaas, who took 8
for 19 against Zimbabwe in 2001. Afridi's bowling figures in this match
are the best for a spinner in ODIs. These figures were also the best for a bowler bowling third change or later in an innings. In terms of runs given, this was Afridi's most economical spell in ODIs in which he has bowled five or more overs.
Afridi's bowling average of 16.87 in the West Indies is the best by a visiting bowler to have bowled in at least ten innings. His strike rate of 24.5 is the third-best for a visiting bowler, with a minimum of ten innings in the West Indies.
This was only the eighth instance
of West Indies getting bowled out for under 100 runs and only the
second at home. The last time West Indies got dismissed for under 100
runs was in February 2011 against Australia at Perth.
Misbah-ul-Haq's fifty in the match ranks fourth in the list of slowest fifty-plus scores by Pakistan's batsmen. Javed Miandad's unbeaten 63 from 167 balls against West Indies
is the slowest fifty-plus score by a Pakistan batsman. Three of the
four slowest fifty-plus scores by Pakistan batsmen have now come against
West Indies.
This was Chris Gayle's 250th ODI of his career. He hasn't
played all of his ODIs for West Indies though. Gayle has represented the
ICC World XI in three ODIs. He is three ODIs away from becoming only
the third West Indies player, after Brian Lara and Shivnarine Chanderpaul, to play 250 or more ODIs.
Jason Holder doubled his tally of ODI wickets in this match. Holder's spell of 4 for 13 bettered his performance in his previous three ODIs.
