Pakistan's young pacer Mohammad Hasnain's bowling action has been cleared by the ICC, making him eligible to play at all levels of cricket. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said on Thursday that Hasnain's bowling action has been found to be legal as the amount of elbow extension in the reassessment was within the 15-degree level of tolerance permitted under the ICC Illegal Bowling Regulations.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam continued his excellent run of form in international cricket as he slammed a century in the first ODI against West Indies in Multan on Wednesday. Babar also scripted multiple records as Pakistan managed to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Babar, after his knock of 103, became the fastest batter to score 1,000 ODI runs as captain, surpassing former India captain Virat Kohli in the list. While Kohli took 17 innings to touch the 1,000 runs milestone, Babar achieved the same feat in just 13 innings.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam played a classy knock of 103 runs in the first ODI vs West Indies to set up a strong chase for his team but he was dismissed when Pakistan were at 237 and still needed 69 more runs to win the match in just 51 deliveries. Babar's dismissal was followed close by the departures of the well-set Mohammad Rizwan and the experienced Shadab Khan.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam is winning hearts not just with his silk smooth batting but also with impeccable behaviour. Babar has been a great man manager ever since taking over as Pakistan's captain and his ability to inspire others was on display yet again during the presentation ceremony after Pakistan's victory over West Indies in the first ODI at Multan. Babar smashed a number of records on his way to a century, which laid the foundation of Pakistan successful chase of 306 runs.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam created history at the Multan Cricket Stadium on Wednesday night as he slammed a century vs West Indies in the first ODI, his 17th in the 50-over format, to create a unique record. This was Babar's third consecutive century in ODIs, having scored 114 and 105* against Australia in Lahore to set up a big series win for the team earlier this year. As a result of this he became the first batter in the history of ODI cricket to score three consecutive centuries in the format twice over.
Pakistan skipper Babar Azam became the first batter to knock three successive one-day international hundreds twice as he anchored a five-wicket win over the West Indies in Multan on Wednesday. Ranked number one batter in both limited overs formats, Azam cracked a brilliant 107-ball 103 with nine boundaries to help Pakistan overhaul a tough 306-run target in 49.2 overs. Opener Shai Hope knocked a 134-ball 127 for his 12th one-day international century to help the West Indies post an impressive 305-8 -- their highest against Pakistan in Pakistan.
International cricket returned to Multan after almost 14 years on Wednesday, with Pakistan facing West Indies in the first ODI of the three-match series. After electing to bat, West Indies lost the wicket of in-form batter Kyle Mayers in the third over after Shaheen Shah Afridi showed quick reflexes to complete a return catch. Shai Hope and Shamarh Brooks then added 154 runs for the second wicket before the latter was dismissed on 70 by Mohammad Nawaz. The credit for Brooks' dismissal largely goes to Shadab Khan, who took a wonder catch to end the dangerous looking stand.
Former Pakistan captain Salman Butt has slammed the Pakistan Cricket Board for preparing flat tracks at home. Butt, was asked about Babar Azam's captaincy skills by the anchor on his YouTube channel. Butt praised Babar for his recent successes but said that a captain's skills are honed in Test cricket. He then went on to criticise the board for preparing tracks which does not allow a captain to strategise and go for a win. Pakistan earlier this year lost at home to Australia and the pitches used for the Test matches came in for a lot of criticism.
