Answer 1

Maximum run scored was 673
so sankakara needs to score 674 to breakdown this record
let x be run scored in the 6th match
to break the record the total runs in all 6 matches should be 674
i.e 105+178+104+124+89+x=674
600+x=674
x=674-600
=74
so sankakara needs 74 runs in 6th match to break the record
