In the just finished three-match T20I series against Ireland, Pakistan’s captain Babar Azam and wicketkeeper-batter Muhammad Rizwan broke all previous records.
As they prepared for the impending T20 World Cup in June, the Green Shirts defeated the Irish team 2-1 at the Clontarf Cricket Club in Dublin to seal the series.
The Babar Azam-led team had an outstanding series comeback after losing the opening T20I by five wickets, winning the next two T20Is with strong performances.
25 runs in an over scored by a Pakistani first
In the game’s shortest format versus Ireland, Babar set a number of records, one of them being the first by a Pakistani hitter to score 25 runs in an over.
