Record Fakhar Zaman double ton powers Pakistan: 4th ODI (Bulawayo)

Opener Fakhar Zaman smashed Pakistan’s first double-century in one-day Internationals as the visitors went 4-0 ahead in the series against Zimbabwe.

Zaman smashed an unbeaten 210 off 156 deliveries as Pakistan’s openers blazed to a world record 304-run stand, with Imam-ul-Haq hitting 113.

The opening pair's triple hundred partnership is now Pakistan’s biggest for any wicket in ODIs. Pakistan finished at 399 for one — their highest ODI total.

Zimbabwe’s response never got going, and the 244-run defeat was their second heaviest in ODIs. Only a 69-run sixth wicket stand between Elton Chigumbura and Tiripano saved their blushes as leg-spinner Shadab Khan took 4-28.

Pakistan 399 for 1 (Fakhar 210*, Imam 113, Asif Ali 50*) beat Zimbabwe 155 (Tiripano 44, Shadab 4-28) by 244 runs.
