Haris Rauf sets an unwanted record during ODI World Cup 2023 match against England

England, the defending champions, scored 337 runs against Pakistan in a World Cup 2023 match.

Haris Rauf’s World Cup 2023 campaign took a unfortunate turn as he set a record for conceding over 500 runs in a single World Cup edition for Pakistan. Despite struggling in previous matches, Rauf showed significant improvement in the final league game, taking three crucial wickets. He was given the new ball for the first time in the tournament and had a shaky start but bounced back in his second spell.

Rauf conceded 533 runs in 9 matches, surpassing the previous record of 526 runs by Adil Rashid in 2019. Shaheen Shah Afridi was the leading wicket-taker for Pakistan in 2023 with 18 wickets but also conceded a high number of runs.

Pakistan’s World Cup journey ended in the semi-finals due to their loss in the toss, enabling England to reach a total of 337 for 9 in their allotted 50 overs, with contributions from Ben Stokes and Joe Root.
