Pakistan cricket team made history on Thursday by becoming the third team to complete 500 One Day International (ODI) wins, after India and Australia.
This remarkable feat was achieved after their five-wicket victory against New Zealand in the first ODI, played at Pindi Cricket Stadium.
Pakistan’s journey to this milestone has been a long and illustrious one. They played their first ODI in 1973 against New Zealand, and since then, they have come a long way. With legendary players like Imran Khan, Wasim Akram, and Waqar Younis, Pakistan has been a force to be reckoned with in the world of cricket.
Pakistan reached this milestone in their 949th ODI. The Men in Green have won 92 ODIs against Sri Lanka, 73 vs India, 63 vs West Indies, 57 vs New Zealand, 54 vs Zimbabwe, 34 vs Australia, and 32 each against England and Bangladesh.
In 978 ODIs, the Australian team has emerged victorious in 594 of them, while the Indian team has won 539 in 1029 ODIs.
This victory not only made Pakistan the third team to reach the milestone of 500 ODI wins, but it also gave them a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series against New Zealand.
With this historic win, Pakistan has once again cemented its position as a cricketing powerhouse and is sure to inspire the next generation of cricketers to follow in the footsteps of their heroes.
