Bulawayo :- Fakhar Zaman continued his dream run in the ongoing tour of Zimbabweinfo-icon as he became the first Pakistaninfo-icon batsman to hit a double century in ODIs in the fourth match of the bilateral series in Bulawayo on Friday.

Fakhar and Imam-ul-Haq blazed away to a record opening stand in ODIs - a partnership of 304 before the dismissal of Imam - as the visitors dominated proceedings at the Queen Sportsinfo-icon Club.

Having already pocketed the five-match series, Pakistan showed no signs of slowing down as Zaman and Imam smashed the hosts' bowlers all over the park and went past the 286-run mark for the opening stand set by Sri Lankainfo-icon's Sanath Jayasuriya and Upul Tharanga against England in 2006.

Pakistan blasted 399/1, their highest in ODIs - beating the previous record of 385/7 against Bangladeshinfo-icon in Dambulla in 2010.

While Imam (113) scored his third century in eight ODIs, Zaman, who had hit a match-winning century in the Champions Trophyinfo-icon 2017 final against Indiainfo-icon, surpassed Saeed Anwar's previous record for Pakistan of 194.

The southpaw -- who remained unbeaten on 210 -- became the sixth cricketer to smack an ODI double century.

This was also Zaman's second triple-figure score of the series. In his four innings, Zaman is yet to be dismissed in this series and has already amassed a total of 430 runs.

Earlier, Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed won the toss and decided to bat. The visitors, who took an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the series after bowling Zimbabwe out for 67 on Wednesday, had the opportunity to experiment with their playing XIinfo-icon but opted to go unchanged.

There were two changes for the Zimbabweans, with Chamu Chibhabha and Prince Masvaure coming in for seamer Donald Tiripano and top-order batsman Tinashe Kamunhukamwe, respectively.
