Pakistan’s Babar Azam became the joint fastest player to get to 6000 ODI runs in the Tri-Series final match against New Zealand. The former Pakistan captain shares the top spot with South Africa’s Hashim Amla with both players needing 123 innings to complete the milestone. Babar reached the landmark after he smashed a boundary off Jacob Duffy in the 3rd ball of the 7th over before going on to make 29 runs. He was then dismissed by Nathan Smith who caught a follow through off Babar’s willow in the 12th over. Pakistan would ultimately post 242 runs with the help of captain Mohammad Rizwan’s 46 and Salman Agha’s 45 with William ORourke taking 4 wickets for the Kiwis.
