It was just another day in the office for Pakistan skipper Babar Azam when his side collided with the Netherlands in the third and final ODI of the series.
In another milestone, Babar surpassed South Africa's Hashim Amla to record the most runs in the first 90 innings of his career.
Courtesy of his 125-ball 91 in the latest ODI appearance, the 27-year-old currently stands at 4,664 runs in 90 innings. He went past Amla's tally of 4,556 runs in the process that the latter garnered during the initial 90 innings of his ODI career.
Other batters behind in the list are Vivian Richards and Shai Hope. The two West Indians had accumulated 4,112 and 4,051 ODI runs, respectively, in the first 90 innings of their careers.

There is no stopping Babar, who continued his dominating performance versus the Netherlands. The numero uno ODI batter scored three consecutive half-centuries, leading Pakistan towards 3-0 series win.

Playing a dead-rubber, Azam and Co. were given a run for their money by the Scott Edwards-led outfit. The Dutch restricted the visitors to 206/10 in the first innings, however, lost by 9 runs in a thriller.
