Saeed Anwar's new National record

Atul Kahate

Saeed Anwar has created a new record for Pakistan in Limited Overs International (LOI) cricket. His 95 not only took his career aggregate to over 6,000 runs: he also won the man of the match award. This was Anwar's 20th award, a national record. Thus, he overtakes the long-standing record for Pakistan, held by Javed Miandad for winning the most match awards (19) in a career.

For the record, the world record for the most awards is shared by Viv Richards (WI) and Sachin Tendulkar (Ind) - 31 each. The following table lists the Pakistani awards.

1 Saeed Anwar 20 1 2 Javed Miandad 19 1 3 Wasim Akram 17 0 4 Inzamam-ul-Haq 14 0 5 Salim Malik 13 0 6 Imran Khan 13 0 7 Aamir Sohail 13 0 8 Waqar Younis 11 0 9 Ijaz Ahmed snr 10 0
