ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Qualifiers: In numbers

Harare [Zimbabwe], June 30 : Zimbabwe veteran Sean Williams is enjoying one of the best runs in ODI cricket history, making records tumble with his performances in the ICC World Cup 2023 Qualifiers being held at his home country.
Williams extended his red-hot form streak to three centuries in five innings with 142 during his side's Super Six match against Oman. Now he has scored 532 runs in the tournament and is the leading run-scorer in the tournament by a mile.
With scores of 174, 102*, 91 and 23 before his third ton of the tournament, Williams has compiled the third-most runs by a batter in five consecutive innings and sits behind two modern-day greats of the game.
Virat Kohli holds the record with 596 ODI runs in five innings for India, with Pakistan's Babar Azam coming in second with 537.
Williams' amazing success has propelled the hosts to the verge of qualifying for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup in India, but he is only one of the numerous standouts at the Zimbabwe competition.
Sikandar Raza, Wanindu Hasaranga of Sri Lanka, and Logan van Beek of the Netherlands have also beaten or equalled milestones, putting their teams in contention for a position in the showcase event later this year.
