Sahibzada Farhan enters top 15, follows Babar Azam as second Pakistani
Pakistan posted 199-3 in their must-win T20 World Cup league game against Namibia at the Sinhalese Sports Club. They began cautiously, taking 6.4 overs to bring up their fifty, while Farhan took 37 balls to reach his individual half-century.
At 118-3 in the 14th over, Namibia might have sniffed a chance, but Farhan took down the Namibian attack in a scintillating display of strokes, hitting 11 fours and four sixes to bring up his hundred in the final over, off only 58 balls.
This was Farhan’s seventh hundred in T20 cricket. He is now joint-14th on the list with six others. Among his compatriots, only Babar Azam (second, with 11 hundreds) is ahead of him.
In this elite group of 20 batters, Farhan has the best conversion rate when it comes to both innings per hundred and hundreds per fifty-plus score. The only batters ahead of him in either list are Chris Gayle and Abhishek Sharma.
Babar, Abhishek, and Farhan are among the seven batters in this list who are part of this T20 World Cup. The others are Jos Buttler, Quinton de Kock, Glenn Maxwell, and Ishan Kishan.
