the record of appearing in most century partnerships for any wicket
in ODIs- 26 for first wicket.Inzamam-ul-Haq was getting run-out for the seventh time in his
career against West Indies. He thus equalled fellow team mate Wasim Akram's
record of most such dismissals against West Indies. Inzamam nended only 32
