World Cup 2015: Pakistan's 1/4 Worst Start in History of ODIs
Chasing 311 against West Indies, Pakistan lost four batsmen with just one run on the board and eventually lost by 150 runs. This is worse than Canada's 4/4 against Zimbabwe at Port-of-Spain in 2006.

Christchurch:
Pakistan set a new record for the worst start to a one-day international innings when they collapsed spectacularly to one for four against the West Indies in their World Cup clash in Christchurch on Saturday. The team eventually folded for 160 - 150 runs short.
Chasing 311 for victory, Pakistan saw opener Nasir Jamshed, Younis Khan and Haris Sohail all fall for ducks, with Ahmed Shehzad managing a single before he too was dismissed at Hagley Oval.
West Indies fast bowler Jerome Taylor did the bulk of the early damage with three wickets for one run in two overs.
The previous worst start to an ODI was made by minnows Canada, who were four for four against Zimbabwe in Port-of-Spain in 2006.
