Peshawar Zalmi’s Star Captain Hits a Century of Half-Centuries in PSL 11

In a resounding victory over Quetta Gladiators in the 23rd match of Pakistan Super League (PSL 11) at the National Bank Stadium, Peshawar Zalmi’s skipper Babar Azam achieved a remarkable milestone by scoring an unbeaten 71 off 51 deliveries. This outstanding performance not only led his team to an eight-wicket win over their arch-rivals but also marked his 100th half-century in T20 cricket. This achievement catapults Babar Azam into an elite group of players, making him the fourth individual in the history of the format to reach 100 T20 fifties. He joins an exclusive club comprising David Warner, Virat Kohli, and Jos Buttler. Currently leading Karachi Kings in PSL 11, Warner holds the top spot with 126 half-centuries. Kohli follows closely with 107, while Buttler and Babar Azam both have 100 half-centuries to their name. What’s more, Babar Azam’s match-winning knock was also his 110th fifty-plus score in men’s T20 cricket, which puts him on par with Chris Gayle’s record. However, it’s worth noting that Gayle achieved this feat in 455 innings, a staggering 104 more than Babar Azam. In the list of players with the most fifty-plus scores in T20s, Warner takes the top spot, followed by Kohli with 116. Babar Azam and Gayle are jointly in third place with 110, while Buttler has 108.
