Complete list of Pakistan’s 200+ run losses in ODIs

The recent match against West Indies in the third ODI of the three-match series was Pakistan's 990th 50-over game in international cricket. It was a forgettable one for the Men in Green, who ended up going down by 202 runs.

The crushing drubbing marked the 439th time Pakistan lost an ODI. However, it was only the fourth time that they had gone down by a margin of 200-plus runs in the format. In the same vein, let us recap each instance of the aforementioned event occurring.

4. Lost by 234 runs (vs Sri Lanka, Lahore, 2009)

Tillakaratne Dilshan's anchoring 139-ball 137 guided Sri Lanka to a solid 309-5 in the first innings of the third and final ODI of the series, as it was tied at 1-1 ahead of the competition. Dilshan batted right through in an innings which comprised 10 fours. Umar Gul (3/45) picked up a three-wicket haul while bowling a couple of maidens.

It would come out quite surprising, but Gul - a tailender batter, also top-scored with 27 off 35 in an otherwise shoddy batting display from the Men in Green. The Shoaib Malik-led side was bundled out for just 75. Six wickets were shared between the new-ball duo of Nuwan Kulasekara (3/17 in seven overs) and Thilan Thushara (3/33 in seven overs). Even after 16 years, this stands as the biggest margin of defeat for the Pakistani side.
