Anwar made his ODI debut during the 1988–89 Benson & Hedges World Series against the West Indies at the WACA Ground, Perth.[14] He achieved his first ODI century a year later against Sri Lanka at the Adelaide Oval.[15] He scored three consecutive centuries at the Sharjah Cricket Association Stadium in 1993, the second player to achieve this feat.[N 2] Anwar's score of 194, the highest by a Pakistan batsman, was made against India at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai in 1997.[17][18][N 3] He scored all of his twenty ODI centuries against six different opponents, and was most successful against Sri Lanka, making seven against them.[1] As of November 2016, Anwar is the leading ODI century-maker for Pakistan, and is twelfth in the list of ODI century-makers.[20][21]
