:England broke their own world record for the highest team total in one-day international (ODI) history after they scored 498-4 in 50 overs against a hapless Netherlands attack on Friday.
It was a party for most of England's batters as they romped their way home to the highest ever ODI score in the first match against the Netherlands on Friday. Jos Buttler, Phil Salt, and Dawid Malan all hit centuries to power England to a mammoth 498/4 in Amstelveen. Liam Livingstone too played his bit with a 22-ball 66. England eventually bowled the Netherlands out for 266 to register a 232-run win and take a 1-0 series lead. However, while most batters made merry for the visitors, it wasn't quite an outing to remember for Jason Roy and England captain Eoin Morgan.
Bangladesh were bowled out for just 103 in the first innings of the first Test against West Indies in North Sound Antigua on Thursday. In the process they equalled a most unwanted record as six batters failed to get off the mark. The six ducks is the joint highest number of ducks in an innings in Test cricket. Co-incidentally, the last time a team got six ducks in an innings was Bangladesh in their last Test match, which was against Sri Lanka. In that game too, the six ducks came in Bangladesh's first innings.
England broke their own world record for the highest team total in one-day international (ODI) history after they scored 498-4 in 50 overs against a hapless Netherlands attack.
Jos Buttler, Dawid Malan and Phil Salt notched up centuries while Liam Livingstone scored England's fastest ODI fifty. The previous record was England's 481 against Australia in 2018.
Pakistan skipper Babar Azam had a memorable run in 2021. While he led Pakistan to the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup last year, he also helped the side beat South Africa 2-1 at home in the ODI format. All those matches saw Babar making crucial contributions with the bat as well. For his overall effort, the player was named in ICC's ODI and T20I teams of 2021. It is worth noting that Babar is currently the number one batter in both the formats.
Babar Azam-led Pakistan had little difficulty in brushing aside the challenge of West Indies in the three-match ODI series and the hosts wrapped up the series 3-0. With this win, Pakistan leapfrogged India into fourth place in ICC ODI Rankings and now they would look to continue with their winning momentum against the Netherlands. In the final two ODIs, Pakistan defended totals and they went on to register comprehensive victories.
Ireland's longest serving men’s captain William Porterfield has announced his retirement from international and representative cricket.
