Hasan Nawaz broke Babar Azam's record for fastest T20I century for Pakistan during the third game against New Zealand to keep them alive in the five-match series on Friday in Auckland.
After losing the first two games, Pakistan needed a win to stay alive in the five-match series. Chasing a target of 205, Pakistan were off to a flier with Mohammad Haris (41) and Hasan Nawaz putting on 74 runs in just 5.5 overs before the former was dismissed by Jacob Duffy.
Thereafter, it was all Hasan Nawaz and new captain Salman Ali Agha who shared an unbeaten second wicket stand of 133 runs as Pakistan romped home in just 16 overs with nine wickets in hand.
While Hasan Nawaz remained unbeaten on 105 with 10 fours and seven sixes, Alman Ali Agha was not out at 51 with six fours and two sixes. In the process, Hasan Nawaz completed his maiden T20I hundred in just 44 balls, thereby surpassing Babar Azam, who scored a 49-ball ton against South Africa in 2021.
