Afghanistan’s historic win at the 2023 World Cup is the highest successful run chase recorded against Pakistan at the World Cup.
The team chased down a target with eight wickets in hand after restricting Pakistan to 282/7 in its 50 overs. This was also Afghanistan’s first ever ODI win over Pakistan after eight attempts.
The previous record was held by India when it overhauled a 274-run target with six wickets remaining and 26 balls to spare during the 2003 World Cup in South Africa.
