The shortest match…

January 23rd, 2002 Posted in 2002, January

In case any of you were disappointed about the length of the match yesterday (I was – it was finished before it was really night and it was Madeleine’s first time at a D/N match. At least the good guys won in style.):

I recall late last year the shortest ODI ever. Here are the details:

8/12/01

Zimbabwe all out 38, 15.4 overs
Sri Lanka 1-40, 4.2 overs.

Yes folks, the whole match was over in exactly 20 overs. Hero of the day was VPUJC Vaas with 8-19 off 8 overs. It included a hat trick. He adds this world record to his existing record of having the longest name of any international cricketer.
