Cricket is a game of comebacks, and Hassan Nawaz proved just that in spectacular fashion! After back-to-back ducks in his first two T20I innings, the young batter roared back to form with a breathtaking 105* off just 45 balls in the third T20I against New Zealand. His explosive knock not only etched his name in the record books but also kept Pakistan alive in the series.

A Record-Breaking Knock

Chasing a daunting target of 205, Pakistan needed a solid start—and they got exactly that! The powerplay set the tone with an aggressive 75-1 in six overs, as Nawaz unleashed a storm. His 44-ball century is now the fastest by a Pakistani in T20Is, surpassing previous records and cementing his reputation as a future star.

Supporting Acts & Clinical Bowling

While Nawaz stole the show, Salman Agha played a vital role with a steady 51*, ensuring Pakistan cruised to a dominant nine-wicket win in just 16 overs. On the other side, New Zealand’s Mark Chapman fought valiantly with a rapid 94, but his efforts were in vain as Pakistan’s bowling unit, led by Haris Rauf (3-29) and Shaheen Afridi (2-36), restricted the Black Caps to 204.

Series Back on Track

With this emphatic win, Pakistan has injected new life into the series. Hassan Nawaz’s heroics have not only set the cricketing world abuzz but have also given Pakistan a much-needed boost ahead of the crucial upcoming games.

Cricket fans, buckle up—this series is far from over!
