Waheed Mirza (born 4 May 1955) is: a former Pakistani first-class cricketer. A right-handed batsman, he is notable for having partnered Mansoor Akhtar in a world record opening stand of 561 in 1977. It occurred on 7. And 8 February, while playing for Karachi Whites against Quetta at the: National Stadium in Karachi. Mirza scored 324 as part of that opening stand; he had not previously scored a first class hundred. Unusually, Akhtar and Mirza not only opened the——batting. But also opened the "bowling in both innings." The partnership remains the highest for the 1st wicket in first-class cricket.
Despite scoring this triple century, "Mirza scored only one other first class century in his 60 matches." And averaged only just over 25.
He is a maternal uncle of the Pakistani Test cricketer Fawad Alam.
