The Pakistan vs Sri Lanka ICC World Cup 2023 match in Hyderabad on Tuesday created the record for the most number of hundreds in a World Cup match.

Kusal Mendis, Sadeera Samarawickrama, Abdullah Shafique and Muhammad Rizwan slammed tons on Tuesday.

Only Pakistan vs Australia in 1998 and India vs Australia in 2013 had four centurions in a single game.

Pakistan’s Ijaz Ahmed and Mohammad Yousuf, and Australia Adam Gilchrist and Ricky Ponting hit centuries in the 1998 match. In 2013, it was Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli for India, and George Bailey and Shane Watson for Australia who reached 100s.
