Most consecutive ODI fifties by Muhammad Asim

Scorecard:

On October 7, during the 3rd match of the five-match one-day series against South Africa at Faisalabad, Pakistans Yousuf Youhana was dismissed for 18 runs after having six consecutive fifty plus scores in his last six ODI innings. Youhana thus became only the fifth batsman in limited-overs history to perform such feat. Only Pakistans Javed Miandad has scored more consecutive fifty-plus score (9) than any one else. Youhana takes the joint second position with three others: Gordon Greenidge (WI), Andrew Jones (NZ) and Mark Waugh (Aus). The accompanying table has the complete details.

Most consecutive fifty plus scores by a batsman (5 or more) (15)
