World Cup 2019: Pakistan’s Haris Sohail walks back after losing his wicket against West Indies at Trent Bridge on Friday (Reuters Photo)World Cup 2019 has started off on a disastrous note for Pakistan, who have collapsed for a score of 105 in 21.4 overs in their first match of the campaign against West Indies at Trent Bridge on Friday. Only three batsmen could register double-figure scores in their short innings, one of them being No. 10 Wahab Riaz. Fakhar Zaman (22) and Babar Azam (22) were the two others.
Here are some of the mind-boggling statistics after Pakistan’s batting collapse:
# 105 is Pakistan’s second-lowest total in World Cup history and their lowest World Cup score since 1992. Their lowest score is 74, scored against England in 1992.
# 105 is the 21st lowest total in World Cup history. It is the eighth lowest total if only teams who are part of this World Cup are considered.
# 21.4 overs is the shortest duration of a Pakistan innings in World Cups. Their lowest total (74 vs England, 1992) was scored in 40.2 overs.
# 21.4 overs is the second shortest ODI innings in Pakistan’s history. Their shortest ODI innings lasted 19.5 overs, vs West Indies in Cape Town, 1993.
# 105 is the second lowest ODI total at Trent Bridge, Nottingham. The lowest total was scored by South Africa, 83 vs England in 2008.
