10 highest successful run-chases at the ICC Cricket World Cup as Pakistan smashes the record against Sri Lanka

Pakistan has created history by chasing down 345 against Sri Lanka in the ongoing ICC ODI World Cup 2023 against Sri Lanka at Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi's International Cricket Stadium

The Men in Green have piped Ireland to claim the record of the highest-ever run chase in the history of ODI World Cups.

Across the 13 editions of the ODI World Cup, chases of over 300 runs have been achieved only a handful of times.

Ireland held the record for the highest run chase in the history of the ODI World Cup when it chased down 329 against England during the 2011 World Cup in India.

Bangladesh and Sri Lanka also feature in the top five list. England fell agonisingly short of getting onto the list in the tied match against India during the 2011 World Cup when it scored 338/8 in the second innings.
