283 Target successfully chased by Afghanistan in Chennai, the highest they have ever managed in ODI cricket. The previous highest target they overhauled was 274 against UAE in 2014.
1 This was the first instance of Pakistan failing to defend a 275-plus target at the men's ODI World Cup, having defended them successfully on 13 previous occasions. India's chase of 274 in 2003 was the previous highest against Pakistan at the World Cup.
1 Afghanistan defeated Pakistan for the first time in ODIs after losing their previous seven meetings in this format. They have now defeated 13 of the 17 teams against whom they have played ODIs.
3 Consecutive defeats for Pakistan in this World Cup. They lost to India and Australia in their last two matches. Only once before have Pakistan suffered a hat-trick of losses in an ODI World Cup - against Bangladesh, South Africa and India in 1999.
1 Targets higher than Afghanistan's 283 that have been successfully chased at the men's ODI World Cup for the loss of two or fewer wickets. Sri Lanka defeated England by nine wickets while chasing 310 in 2015, while New Zealand also chased 283 against England in the opening game of this edition, for the loss of only one wicket.
4 Century stands between Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran in ODIs, the joint-most by any pair for Afghanistan, equaling Hashmatullah Shahidi and Rahmat Shah. All four century stands between Gurbaz and Ibrahim have come in 2023, the joint-most by any pair in men's ODIs this year alongside Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill.
1 This was the first time the top three batters in any side scoring 50 or more in a men's ODI World Cup run chase. There have been eight previous instances of the top three batters making 50-plus scores in World Cup innings, but all of them have come while batting first.
2 Instances where Afghanistan's top three batters made 50-plus scores in the same ODI. The previous was against Sri Lanka in last year's Pallekele ODI, also by the trio of Gurbaz, Ibrahim and Rahmat Shah. Monday's game was also the first time Afghanistan have had fifty-plus stands for the first three wickets in an ODI.
2 Sixes by Abdullah Shafique in this game, both in the first ten overs. These were the first sixes hit by Pakistan inside the first powerplay in men's ODIs this year. The game against Afghanistan was the 20th ODI innings for Pakistan in 2023, with their first six in this phase coming after 1168 balls. Pakistan's two sixes in the first ten overs are still the joint-fewest among the 22 teams who have played men's ODIs in 2023.
