World Cup History: Five popular batsmen who picked up at least one wicket in WC

#2 Saeed Anwar

Saeed Anwar

Saeed Anwar was a prolific left-handed batsman, who was known for scoring big against Pakistan's arch-rivals India. His highest ODI score of 194 was scored against India as well. Anwar was a part of the Pakistan team at three World Cups - 1996,1999 and 2003.

Anwar was an opening batsman, who used to bowl a few part-time overs if required. He didn’t bowl that often, but could roll over his arms if required. In the 2003 World Cup game against the Netherlands, after Pakistan scored 253, Anwar came into bowl in the second innings, with the Dutch struggling. The Netherlands were never in the game and so Anwar came into bowl some part-time overs. He bowled four over for 15 runs and picked up the wicket of Jacob-Jan Esmeijer, who was adjudged LBW. Anwar picked up a total of six wickets in his ODI career, but it remains his only World Cup wicket.
