[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text dp_text_size=”size-4″]Pakistan is set to begin the historic white-ball series against New Zealand at the Gaddafi Stadium today. The series consists of five T20Is and the same number of ODIs.
Meanwhile, Babar Azam is on the verge of breaking a slew of batting and captaincy records in both white-ball formats, which he hopes to do in the series against the BlackCaps.
If Pakistan wins three T20Is, Babar will become the most successful captain in terms of wins, surpassing Afghanistan’s Asghar Stanikzai, who currently has 42 wins.

Babar needs to score one century in his next seven One-Day Internationals (ODIs) to break Hashim Amla’s record of scoring 18 centuries in 102 ODIs.
With 187 more runs in the next seven One-Day Internationals, the Lahore-born cricketer will become the fastest batter to 5,000 ODI runs, breaking Amla’s record of 104 matches.
Babar needs just 145 runs to join Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Martin Guptill as the first Pakistani batter and fourth overall to reach 3,500 runs in T20Is.
If the 28-year-old batsman scores 136 more runs, he will have scored 12,000 runs across three formats, making him the eighth Pakistani to do so.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
