Babar Azam’s century against New Zealand in the fourth ODI match at National Stadium Karachi was a sight to behold. The Pakistani captain led from the front, scoring a brilliant 107 runs off 117 balls, setting the tone for his team’s impressive total of 334 runs in 50 overs.
Azam’s innings was a masterclass in strokeplay, with the right-hander displaying an array of shots all around the ground. He hit 10 fours as part of his innings, and was well-supported by the likes of Shan Masood and Agha Salman, who chipped in with valuable contributions.
The New Zealand bowlers tried everything they could to dismiss Azam, but he proved too good for them on the day. He mixed caution with aggression, and showed great maturity in pacing his innings to perfection. See how Twitterati reacted.
Hundred for Babar Azam, he is leading by example with the bat, fantastic knock after losing Fakhar early in the innings.
