Babar Azam and Wasim Akram (PC: Twitter)
It was a day to remember for Babar Azam as his team locked horns with England in the second T20 International of the seven-match series. Playing at the National Stadium in Karachi, the skipper roared back to form. Babar was going through a lean patch in international cricket.
The opening batter could score only 68 runs in six Asia Cup 2022 games while the first T20I against England saw him walking back after adding 31 runs to the scoreboard. Following a series of poor performances, Babar smacked a much-needed century in the second T20 International.
As Pakistan were set to chase 200 runs, the opening batter played a blistering knock of 110* runs off just 66 balls. His knock included 11 boundaries and five maximums at a strike rate of 166.67. Meanwhile, Babar also stitched an unbeaten partnership of 203 runs with the other opening batter Mohammad Rizwan as Pakistan cruised to a win by ten wickets.
