KARACHI, March 8, 2023: The duo of Peshawar Zalmi skipper Babar Azam and batter Saim Ayub managed to hit the second-highest partnership of the Pakistan Super League during the match against Quetta Gladiators.
The duo managed to score 162 runs — before opener Ayub was sent back to the pavilion. Babar contributed 84 runs and the young batter smashed 74 runs.
Babar, who is also the national side’s skipper across all formats, holds the record for scoring the highest partnership with Sharjeel Khan (176) and the third-highest partnership (157) — both while he was representing Karachi Kings.
