As good a resistance as it was by the Oz openers, it was followed by zilch support from numbers 3 & 4.

This is the first time ever for AUS that their openers faced 700plus balls, while their numbers 3 & 4 accumulated less than 20 runs, across two innings in a Test.

@Danny61000 Didn't he score a ton in Lahore?

[Hammad Ahmad @dot07HS]

@emclub77 @azkhawaja1 Then he'll have to register his highest score and best bowling figures in this season...

[Hammad Ahmad @dot07HS]

@naveednadeem91 @saaadmalikk Azhar at 3, Pujara at 4?

[Hammad Ahmad @dot07HS]

Rather mundane stat but Pakistan have never lost a Test whenever both their openers crossed 50 and ended up accumulating 200plus runs between them.

[Hammad Ahmad @dot07HS]

If Pakistan pull this off, it's gonna be their first ever successful chase of 220 or more when 3 of their top 4 batsmen accumulated 12 or fewer runs.

As Malik moves to 13 off 17, here's what he needs to do to reach his highest career strike rate in 18 years. The conditions don't really allow for such innings though, but who knows...

Meaning a non-Amir left armer is 45% more likely to go beyond one wicket in an innings than Amir.

Also, Amir's average wickets in innings where he has taken two or more is 2.44, compared to 2.52 for non-Amirs.

And add to this his 7/10 wicketless outings in 2018...

[Hammad Ahmad @dot07HS]

Junaid Khan did good today to show what Pakistan have been missing from Amir ever since he came back.

Since his return, Pakistan have played 7 non-Amir left arm pacers, of whom 6 have taken 2 or more wickets in at least one innings.

[Hammad Ahmad @dot07HS]

Their collective numbers suggest that on average, they go beyond one wicket per innings each in 42% innings they bowl in.

The respective number for Amir drops to 29%, who has taken 2+ wickets in only 9 out of 31 innings.

[Hammad Ahmad @dot07HS]

@nadirdaman No, in all ODIs ever.

[Hammad Ahmad @dot07HS]

Pakistan become the first team to concede a 4th wicket hundred partnership when the first 3 wickets fell for 12 or fewer runs, twice.

#BANvPAK #AsiaCup2018

[Hammad Ahmad @dot07HS]

Mushfiq's dismissal on 99 and the subsequent dip in Ban's chance in this game means Kumar Sangakkara remains the only wicketkeeper in ODI history to score a 100 in a winning cause when both openers accumulated half a dozen or fewer runs. And he did that twice!

#AsiaCup2018

[Hammad Ahmad @dot07HS]

Only once in their ODI history have Pakistan ever lost a game after the opposition's top 3 accumulated less than a dozen runs. Their W/L ratio in this context is 17.00, compared to the global ratio of 5.31.

Hales 9 off 31*, at 29.03

[Hammad Ahmad @dot07HS]

Although Mohammad Shahzad finished with a SR of 106.89 today, scoring 124 off 116 balls, his SR during the course of his innings was predominantly more than 116.66 (a hundred more than his partner), including when he reached his 100 at 117.04.

#INDvAFG

[Hammad Ahmad @dot07HS]

Only once in all of ODI history has a striker ever struck at 100 (or more) more runs per 100 balls than the non-striker when both batsmen faced at least 30 balls while setting a target.

Eng vs Aus, 2015

Jason Roy 63 off 45 at 140.00
Alex Hales 09 off 40 at 29.03

Diff: 110.97
