Babar Azam’s third consecutive half century of the series enthralled the whole attention, his sixth in succession batting in T20I. Babar was out at 16th over when chasing for a run was a beyond factor. Hazaratullah has already set the records with sixes when he had scored 162 in 62 balls against Ireland in 2019 in T20I.
Allen’s two out of 16 sixes were beyond 100 metres, one passed the crossbar and uprights of the rugby ground. Three sixes had hit so far out of the ground which led to not finding the same ball and had to replace the ball. Haris Rauf allowed only two runs from his first over but 28 and 23 runs from his next two overs. Although they are teammates at San Francisco Unicorns, an American franchise cricket team in major league cricket.
“It was good. I tried to have a solid foundation and played some good shots,” Allen said. I have been working on a solid foundation and a solid base to build and hit the ball in the direction where it was supposed to go.
“These are the moments when it’s time to go and pick the bowlers and play the ball on the certain merits and do what I was supposed to do in my potential.”
Allen boosted the energy in the ground when he hit consecutive sixes from the second to third balls, bowler was Shaheen Shan Afridi. He hit back to back sixes and fours in the sixth over including a wide New Zealand 67-1 at the end of the sixth-over powerplay.
Allen’s 50 runs came from 26 balls where he hit three fours and five sixes. Nawaz off his longest six that carries 107 meters, after 10 overs, New Zealand reached 103-1.
Allen recorded his second T20 international century from a total of 48 balls and scored 11 sixes and he scored 125 runs with Tim Seifert (31) for the second wicket from 61 balls of total. Allen was out in the 18th over, it was almost a winning scenario for New Zealand.
