KARACHI: Pakistan’s thumping win over New Zealand in the fourth ODI on Friday pushed them to the top of the one-day international rankings.
Captain Babar Azam smashed a 117-ball 107 and also became the fastest batter to reach 5,000 ODI runs, as his team made 334-6 in their 50 overs.
His 18th ODI hundred took him past the mark in his 97th innings in the format, beating former South Africa batsman Hashim Amla’s previous record of 101 innings.
