It was the equal third fastest ODI century by a Pakistan men's player, matching the efforts of Afridi's 53-ball effort against Bangladesh in 2010.
Saim Ayub Century Helps Pakistan Crush Zimbabwe By 10 Wickets, Level Series
Saim Ayub struck an unbeaten 113 as Pakistan crushed Zimbabwe by 10 wickets in Bulawayo on Tuesday to level a one-day international series with one match to come.
