Pakistan carried on their form in the limited overs in the 4th ODI against Zimbabwe on Friday and scripted yet another big win over the hosts to take their lead to 4-0 in the series. Winning the toss first, Pakistan opted to bat first and with the help of a double ton from the opening batsman Fakhar Zaman, Pakistan went on to put together a total of 399 in the first innings. Coming down to chase 400, Zimbabwe never looked like in control and were bundled all out for 155, giving the visitors a 244-run victory.
opener Fakhar Zaman became the sixth international batsman and the first Pakistani player to score a double hundred, when he smashed 210 off just 156 deliveries. Zaman joined an elite list of players – Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Rohit Sharma, Chris Gayle and Martin Guptill – as the only players with double-hundreds in ODIs. Sharma still remains the only player with multiple double-centuries (3).
