Bilal Khan Is The Fastest Pace Bowler to Reach 100 ODI Wickets in Oman

In the ICC CWC League 2 2023-27, Bilal Khan made history by becoming the fastest pace bowler to reach 100 ODI wickets. The Pakistani left-arm fast bowler achieved this milestone in just 49 matches during the Oman vs Namibia match, surpassing previous record holder Shaheen Afridi.

Bilal Khan's record-breaking achievement places him third overall in the list of fastest bowlers to reach 100 ODI wickets. Here are the top five:

1. Sandeep Lamichhane (Nepal) - 42 matches

2. Rashid Khan (Afghanistan) - 44 matches

3. Bilal Khan (Oman) - 49 matches

4. Shaheen Afridi (Pakistan) - 51 matches

5. Mitchell Starc (Australia) - 52 matches

Bilal's accomplishment is particularly notable as he is the first fast bowler to achieve this feat in under 50 matches, setting a new benchmark in ODI cricket history.

Oman registered their first victory in the ICC CWC League 2 2023-27, defeating Namibia by 4 wickets. This win comes after a string of disappointing losses, marking a significant turnaround for the team.

Despite this victory, Oman faces a tough road ahead. They are looking to improve their standings in the table, which is currently dominated by Canada, Scotland, Namibia, and the Netherlands. Additionally, the in-form USA team has yet to play a match, adding to Oman's challenges in the competition.

This milestone and the victory provide a much-needed boost for Oman as they continue to navigate the competitive landscape of the ICC CWC League 2.
