5 teams with most sixes in a Test inning in cricket history

#3. Pakistan, 15 Sixes vs New Zealand

Inzamam-ul-Haq scored a triple century against New Zealand

New Zealand toured Pakistan for a three-match ODI and two-match Test series in 2002. The first Test, played in Lahore, is largely remembered for Inzamam-ul-Haq's brilliance. Following opener Imran Nazir's ton, Inzamam displayed a great show of caution mixed with aggression in his marathon knock of 329 runs.

The right-hander hit 38 boundaries and nine sixes in his knock that lasted 436 deliveries. Pakistan hit a total of 15 sixes as they posted a mammoth 643 runs on the board.

New Zealand could not withstand Shoaib Akhtar's pace as the Kiwis were bundled out for a paltry 73 in their first innings. Following on, New Zealand could make only 246 runs as they faced a huge defeat.

The Australian team hit 17 sixes in their first innings in a Test match against Zimbabawe in Perth on 9th October 2003. Australia's Matthew Hayden broke Brian Lara's record for the then highest Test score when he played a knock of 380 runs. Hayden alone hit 11 out of the 17 sixes hit by the team.

Australia declared the innings at 735/6 which proved to be enough. Zimbabwe could only make 239 and 321 in both their innings and faced an innings defeat.
