Partnering with opener Saim Ayub, Babar Azam kickstarted Zalmi’s innings with a commanding 73-run partnership, setting the stage for an electrifying showdown.
The highlight of Babar’s innings came in the 18th over, where he unleashed a flurry of boundaries and a six against Islamabad United’s bowler Hunain Shah.
With an unbeaten score of 111 off just 63 deliveries, including 14 boundaries and two sixes, Babar Azam emerged as the top scorer for Peshawar Zalmi.
His stellar performance earned him the well-deserved “Man of the Match” award, propelling his team to an eight-run victory over Islamabad United.
Babar’s remarkable achievement adds to his growing list of accolades, as he now boasts an impressive tally of 11 centuries in T20 cricket.
He stands second only to the legendary Chris Gayle, who holds the record with 22 centuries in the shortest format of the game.
Babar Azam is known to love cars and has a fleet of lavish cars in his garage. His collection includes the Audi A5, BJ40 Plus, Audi e-Tron GT and Hyundai Sonata.
