In a 50-over match, a team achieved a victory margin that surpasses any previous score in international cricket. This remarkable feat occurred in the Malaysian Men’s Under-19 Inter-State Championship, not on an international stage. The match featured Selangor U19 and Putrajaya U19. Batting first, Selangor U19 amassed a colossal score, leaving Putrajaya U19 struggling to keep up and ultimately losing the match by a staggering 477 runs.
Selangor U19’s final score was a massive 564 runs for 6 wickets in their 50 overs. Muhammad Akram played a pivotal role in propelling Selangor U19 to this monumental total.
Muhammad Akram’s explosive performance saw him scoring 217 runs off just 97 balls against Putrajaya U19. His aggressive batting style enabled Selangor U19 to maintain a run rate exceeding 11 runs per over in the 50-over innings.
Putrajaya U19 was set a target of 565 runs. However, when they began their chase, they crumbled like a house of cards. The entire team was bowled out for a mere 87 runs in 21.5 overs, leading to a defeat by a massive margin of 477 runs, with 28.1 overs remaining.
