Babar Azam's Unbeaten 161, Sarfaraz Ahmed's 86 Propel Pakistan To 317/5 Against New Zealand

By IANS News December 26, 2022 • 21:40 PM View: 644

Pakistan captain Babar Azam slammed his ninth Test century, also his third in Karachi, and remain unconquered on 161, propelling the hosts to 317/5 at the end of day one's play in the series opener against New Zealand on Monday.

Apart from him, a returning Sarfaraz Ahmed shined in his 50th Test appearance and first at home with a gritty 86 off 153 balls. Ahmed, coming in for Mohammad Rizwan to get a Test appearance after almost four years, shared a mammoth 196-run partnership for the fifth wicket with Babar lasting 56.3 to put Pakistan in a position of strength and demoralise New Zealand.
