Azam leads from the front

Cricket: Captain Babar Azam hit a recordbreaking 122 to lead Pakistan to an impressive ninewicket victory over host South Africa at Centurion yesterday and a 21 lead in the fourmatch twenty20 series.

Mohammad Rizwan scored an unbeaten 73 as he and Babar, whose century came off 49 balls, shared a record 197run partnership that enabled the touring side to reel in South Africa’s 203 for five with two overs and nine wickets to spare. — Reuters
