Babar Azam has faced criticism about not taking his team home in the past and leading them to victories. Today he will have silenced some of his critics with a superb century under great pressure and on a difficult wicket against a very good bowling attack #CWC19 #NZvPAK

Babar Azam became the youngest player since Salim Malik in 1987 to score a World Cup hundred for Pakistan. They were both 24 years of age.

Pakistan’s last two matches, against Afghanistan (29 June) and Bangladesh (5 July), are both must-win games if they are to make the semi-finals of the World Cup.
