Former Pakistan captain Babar Azam scored his 31st fifty in style during the opening Twenty20 International match against New Zealand in Auckland, making him the third-highest runscorer in Twenty20 International history. In spite of Babar’s strong innings, Pakistan was unable to reach the target and lost the game, giving New Zealand a 1-0 series lead.
The batting maestro of Pakistan reached fifty runs in just 33 balls, hitting two sixes and five fours as he played a leader’s knock and carefully timed his innings. He is getting close to Saeed Anwar’s record of the most ODI centuries (20) with his three tons in T20Is and his nineteen hundreds in ODIs.
