India vs Pakistan Asia Cup: Pakistan Captain Babar Azam Smashes Another Huge Record to Warm-up For India Clash
Pakistan skipper Babar Azam continued his rich vein of form in the second ODI against the Netherlands to guide his side to a series win on Thursday (August 28). Babar scored his eight half-century in nine ODI innings – stroking 57 off 65 balls to lead Pakistan to a seven-wicket victory.
Over the course of the innings, Babar smashed another huge ODI record. Babar Azam has scored 4573 ODI runs after 89 ODI innings, breaking former South African batter Hashim Amla’s world record again for most ODI runs after 89 ODI innings. Amla had scored 4,539 ODI runs after 89 ODI innings.
Babar has the onerous task of leading Pakistan to victory in the continental tournament, which will see them clash with arch rivals India on August 28 and potentially play them twice more if both teams progress the summit clash.
Pakistan last won the Asia Cup in 2012 and would look to end their decade-long wait to win the continental tournament.
India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2022: Team India are getting ready for their high-voltage clash against arch-rivals Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2022 scheduled to take place in Dubai. The history between both the cricketing powerhouse nations has been explosive to say the least. India, under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, will start their Asia Cup 2022 campaign with a match against Pakistan at the Dubai International Stadium on August 28.
