Centuries from captain Babar Azam (114) and left-handed opener Imam-ul-Haq (106) helped Pakistan complete their highest successful run-chase in ODIs on Thursday (March 31) against Australia at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. The six-wicket win also allowed the hosts to level the three-match series 1-1.

Pakistan captain Babar Azam achieved a special feat against Australia in the first ODI at Lahore where they lost the game by 88 runs. Babar scored 57 runs in the game and became the second-fastest batter to reach the 4000-run mark reaching the landmark in the 82nd innings during his knock.

Babar Azam had impressed fans across the world with his 196-run knock against Australia in the fourth innings of the second Test against Australia in Karachi. Former England captain Michael Vaughan took note of Babar’s performance, labelling him ‘the best all-round batter’ in the world at present.

In a light-hearted moment on Day 1 of the second Test match between Pakistan and Australia, taking place at the National Stadium in Karachi, Mohammad Rizwan was seen asking Steven Smith about taking a review. Smith played a gritty knock of 72 off 214 balls before being dismissed by Hasan Ali.
