Pakistan skipper Babar Azam created some more T20I history on Saturday, April 28, after becoming the player with the most boundaries in the format.
With the series 2-1 in a scoreline of visitors New Zealand, Pakistan took the field in the fifth T20I at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi on Saturday.
After losing fellow opener Saim Ayub cheaply in the second over, Babar took the initiative and scored runs at a brisk pace. He was eventually dismissed in the 15th over, but not before scoring 69 runs off 44 balls, setting the foundation for a big finish.
The captain scored six fours and two sixes, which allowed him to overtake Irishman Paul Stirling as the player with the most fours scored in T20I history.
