Karachi—Muhammad Aamer and Saeed Ajmal missed the world record by four runs during their amazing 103 runs tenth wicket stand in the third One-Day International between Pakistan and New Zealand at Abu Dhabhi on Monday.
Pakistan was heading towards massive defeat when number 11 batsmen Saeed joined left handed Aamer at the crease under dazzling lights of Sheikh Zayed Stadium.
The century stand between the two Pakistani bowlers provided the only the second occasion of a three figure partnership for the tenth wicket in the history of one day games.
The first ever tenth wicket three figure partnership of unbroken 106 runs was between Vivian Richards and Michael Holding in the match between West Indies and England at Manchester on May 31, 1984.
The duo added 106 runs and remained not out. West Indies finished their innings with 272 for 9 in 50 overs with Richards hammering an unbeaten 189 not out and Holding scored 12 not out.
England mustered 168 all out. England’s total of 168 all out was less than IVA Richard’s 189 not out providing an occasion of a batsman’s individual score greater than the entire team’s total, West Indies won this game by 104 runs.
In the Pakistan and New Zealand game at Abu Dhabi on Monday, New Zealand batting first scored 211 runs.
Pakistan was at 101 for 9, when the last man Saeed Ajmal joined Muhammad Aamer at the crease. Saeed Ajmal was the last man dismissed for 33, while Mohammad Aamer remained not out on 76. A total score of Pakistan 204 left New Zealand victors by seven runs.
Aamer and Saeed added 103 runs for the last wicket, thus posting the second three figure partnership for the last wicket in the history of one dayers.—APP
