Imam-ul-Haq becomes only second batter to achieve this huge feat in ODIs

Pakistan opening batter Imam-ul-Haq continued his brilliant form in ODI cricket as he scored his seventh successive scores of fifty or more during the third Pakistan-West Indies ODI in Multan on Sunday.

After crossing the 50-run mark, Imam became only the second cricketer to score more than six straight half-centuries in ODIs.

On the other hand, Pakistan cricket team captain Babar Azam, who had scored his sixth successive half-century in the second ODI against West Indies, fell for just one and missed out on a record.

Imam, who was out for 62 in the third ODI, had scores of 56, 103, 106, 89, 65 and 72 in the earlier matches.

Imam has now surpassed Mark Waugh, Gordon Greenidge, Andrew Jones, Mohammad Yousuf, Chris Gayle, Shai Hope, Paul Stirling, Ross Taylor and Kane Williamson in the elite list of batters with six straight 50-plus scores in ODIs. 

Pakistan batting legend Javed Miandad holds the record for the most consecutive 50-plus scores in ODIs. He had nine straight scores of 50-plus in the year 1987.
