South Africa opener Hashim Amla on Wednesday became the second fastest cricketer to complete 8000 runs in one-day international cricket in the ongoing World Cup 2019 match against New Zealand in Birmingham. Hashim Amla needed 24 runs before the start of the match to reach the landmark. He had the chance to become the joint-fastest to achieve the feat in South Africa's last match against Afghanistan but he couldn't do so as the Proteas were only chasing a paltry target of 126. Amla scored 41 not out in that game, which was his 175th innings for South Africa. Virat Kohli currently holds the record for the fastest to achieve the feat in 175 innings.
