Five Innings, Five Fifties: Matthew Breetzke’s Stunning ODI Record

Matthew Breetzke has announced himself on the world stage in spectacular fashion, becoming the first cricketer in men’s ODI history to score five consecutive half-centuries in his first five innings.

The young opener has made every appearance a headline, beginning with a world record 150 on debut against New Zealand, an 83 against Pakistan, and then two solid hits against Australia (57 and 88). Now in his fifth ODI against England, he has scored another 50-plus hitless score and cemented his name in the history of cricket.

This incredible streak not only shows his consistency but also his performance when playing against the highest-class competitions. Having the highest number of runs in the history of the first five ODIs of a career, Breetzke is rapidly becoming one of the most talked-about young hitters in the world of international cricket.

For fans, this isn’t just a promising start — it’s the arrival of a new star who looks set to dominate world cricket for years to come.
