Former Pakistan captain Babar Azam overtook India’s Virat Kohli’s mark in the third and final T20I against South Africa at Gaddafi Stadium on Saturday.
Babar’s match-winning 68 off 47 balls, with nine fours, lifted him to 40 fifty-plus scores in T20 internationals, surpassing Kohli’s 39. India’s Rohit Sharma is third with 37, while Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan is fourth on 31.
In the final match, Pakistan chased down a modest 140-run target to clinch a six-wicket victory with six balls remaining, thanks to Babar’s steady half-century. (Geo News)
