Shai Hope and Justin Greaves set a massive world record while producing one of the finest display of slog-over batting in ODI cricket history during the West Indies’ 202-run victory in the third ODI against Pakistan on Tuesday (August 12) at the Brian Lara Cricket Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad and Tobago.
Greaves and Hope put up an unbeaten partnership of 110 runs in just 49 balls to help the home post a huge total of 294 on the board on a sluggish track as the Men in Marron won an ODI series over the Men in Green after a gap of 34 years with the last such victory coming in 1991.
Justin Greaves, Shai Hope Create History
The run-rate (RR) of 13.46 in the partnership between the duo is the fastest 100+ partnership for any wicket against Pakistan in the history of ODI cricket. The West Indies duo broke a record held by former England captains Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler, -which was set in 2016.

This is also the third-quickest century partnership in ODIs for the seventh wicket or lower and only behind Pakistan pairs of Abdul Razzaq and Shahid Afridi (107 runs at 15.28 RR vs Zimbabwe in Multan in 2004) and Australia’s Pat Cummins and Glenn Maxwell (103 runs at 14.37 vs Netherlands in Delhi in 2023).
This is also the second-quickest century stand for the West Indies behind Wavell Hinds and Brian Lara (102 runs at 14.23 RR vs Canada in Centurion in 2003). It makes Greaves and Hope’s effort, the fastest 100+ partnership for the two-time world champions.
