Hasan Nawaz finished a hundred of only 44 balls. He came to a turning point with a fine shooting that shared a fine leg and a middle part for four. It was an amazing knock of a young man who got into this match under a huge pressure.
In this process, Nawaz broke the record of Babar Azama, who held the record with the fastest T20 century with a Pakistani cryrket. Babar scored a three -digit mark against South Africa with 49 balls in Centurin in 2021.
However, Nawaz took a step ahead of him and now holds the record the fastest hundreds of Pakistani. The fact that he achieved this turning point in his third international match shows his huge talent and potential.
Pakistan remains alive in the series
It was an amazing knock of players who had already shown a lot of promises for the future. Nawaz entered this match under great pressure because he did not even reach a single ride in his first two matches.
But he continued to show his aggressive instincts that became the reason for his fall in the first two games. He counter -mild bowlers in New Zealand and did not allow them to settle down.
He founded the original 74 ride partnership in just 5.5 additions from the guard Mohammad Haris. Despite Harris dismissed due to the 20-Lopte-41 Quickfire, Hasan continued his glittering show and continued to dominate the attack of New Zealand.
Skiper Salman Ali Aghha gave him a good company from the other end and ended up with a undefeated 51 out of only 31 balls. Hasan Nawaz finished the game reaching four to a deep third border. It is invincible to 105 of 45 balls with 10 fours and 7 sixties.

Previously, New Zealand achieved a challenging total of 204 in the first scams. Mark Chapman hit a magnificent 94 out of only 44 balls with 11 square and 4 sixties. Tim Seifert and Michael Bracewell also made a valuable contribution to the bat.
With this victory, Pakistan held a live T20I series in five matches. The series is now 2-1 in favor of New Zealand with two more games. The next game will be played on Mount Maunganui on March 2nd.
