ICC World Cup 2023 – Will Babar Beat Miandad To Become The Highest Runs Scorer For Pakistan

ICC ODI World Cup 2023:

The 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup is scheduled to be played in OCTOBER – NOVEMBER this year and that means Babar Azam will have a chance there to score some good runs and beat Javed Miandad to become the highest run-scorer in the history of the World Cup for Pakistan.

Javed Miandad is the highest runs scorer for the Pakistan team in the history of the World Cup but now Babar Azam has a chance to beat Miandad and become the player with the most runs in the history of the World Cup for Pakistan.

MOST RUNS IN WORLD CUPS FOR PAKISTAN:

Javed Miandad played many editions of the ICC Cricket World Cups for the Pakistan team in his international career. The first edition of the World Cup in which he featured is the ICC World Cup 1975 and the 1996 Cricket World Cup was the last time, he played for the Pakistan team in World Cup.

In his long career, Javed Miandad played 33 matches for the Pakistan team in the World Cups, and in those 30 innings, he scored 1083 runs for Pakistan, at an average of 43.3 and has scored eight fifties and one hundred for Pakistan in the World Cup matches.

He has been the only player for the Pakistan team in their history who has scored more than 1000 runs in World Cup matches, the second best on the list is Saeed Anwar who has scored 915 runs for Pakistan.

BABAR TO BECOME THE HIGHEST RUNS SCORER FOR PAKISTAN IN THE HISTORY OF WORLD CUP:

The current captain of the Pakistan team, Babar Azam has been one of the most talented and consistent players to play for the Pakistan team, and if someone has to break the record of Javed Miandad, the name that pops into your mind immediately is Babar Azam.

Babar Azam has just played one edition of the ICC ODI Cricket World Cup and in that one edition he broke the record of Javed Miandad of most runs in a single world cup edition.

He made his debut in the 2019 Cricket World Cup and scored 474 runs for Pakistan at an impressive average of 67, he scored three fifties and one century in the 2019 World Cup edition.

In the 2023 Cricket World Cup, every team will play nine group stage matches, Babar Azam needs more 609 runs in these nine innings of this World Cup 2023 to break the record of the great Javed Miandad, and as we all know that if Babar Azam will have a great tournament, Pakistan will also perform well in the tournament.

Even if Babar Azam fails to break this record of Javed Miandad in this edition, it will be a matter of time as Babar Azam has made a habit of breaking all records in world cricket.

The form in which the Pakistani captain has been since last two years in just outstanding and that’s why Babar Azam will definitely end this edition as the top 3 highest runs scorers in World Cups ever in the history of Pakistan.

BABAR AZAM IN ODI CRICKET SINCE 2019 WORLD CUP:

The captain of the Pakistan team has played 28 innings since the 2019 Cricket World Cup and has scored 1876 runs at an average of 72.15, he has scored 11 fifties and 8 centuries for Pakistan in this time period. If runs continue to flow from the willow of Babar Azam in the 2023 Cricket World Cup, like it has been since the last World Cup, he will definitely break the record of Javed Miandad, that too in just two World Cup editions.
