Pakistan’s experienced opener Fakhar Zaman made history by completing a century of sixes in the third T20 match against Sri Lanka. He became the first Pakistani batter to hit 100 sixes in T20 International cricket.
According to Geo Super, Fakhar Zaman needed one six to reach the milestone in the third and final match of the series, played at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. He achieved the feat by hitting a magnificent six over deep mid-wicket off Sri Lankan left-arm fast bowler Binura Fernando.
The Cricketer Breaks His Silence The 36-year-old Fakhar Zaman made his T20 International debut for Pakistan in 2017. He completed 100 sixes in 113 innings. Fakhar Zaman has moved to the top of the list of Pakistani batters with the most sixes in T20 Internationals, while wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan is in second place with 95 sixes.
Captain Sahibzada Farhan has moved into third place with 81 sixes, overtaking former captain Babar Azam, who has hit 80 sixes. Mohammad Hafeez is in fifth place with 76 sixes.
Fakhar Zaman Surpasses Babar Azam However, Fakhar Zaman could not play a big innings after reaching the milestone and was dismissed by Eshan Malinga. He scored 12 runs off seven balls.
After Fakhar Zaman’s dismissal, Pakistan’s batting line-up came under pressure, with the team losing six wickets for 102 runs. At that point, captain Sahibzada Farhan and emerging all-rounder Arafat Minhas batted well and built an important partnership, helping Pakistan reach a total of eight wickets in the allotted 20 overs.
