1 Number of Pakistan players who had scored a century and taken four or more wickets in an ODI before Mohammad Hafeez in this match. Shoaib Malik had hit 119 runs and taken 4 for 19against Hong Kong in the Asia Cup in 2004. Overall, Hafeez is the 13th player to achieve this.
6 Number of ODI centuries by Hafeez at No. 3 for Pakistan. This equals the most any Pakistan batsman has scored in that position. Zaheer Abbaz, Ijaz Ahmed and Younis Khan also made six hundreds batting at No. 3 for Pakistan.
79.37 Hafeez’s batting average at No. 3 against Sri Lanka. He has scored 635 runs from ten innings including four hundreds and one fifty. Among batsmen with at least 500 runs at No. 3 against any opposition, Hafeez’s average is the third best. Only Viv Richards against England and Dean Jones against Sri Lanka have done better than Hafeez.
4/41 Hafeez’s bowling figures in this match. This is his first four-wicket haul in ODIs. He has taken 127 wickets in ODIs at an average of 34.94 and an economy of 4.08.
