In-form wicketkeeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan smashed a maiden hundred to guide Pakistan to 169-6 in the first Twenty20 International against South Africa in Lahore on Thursday.

Rizwan finished with 64-ball 104 not out comprising of six boundaries and seven sixes after South Africa won the toss and sent Pakistan in to bat at Gaddafi stadium.

Rizwan hit pacer Andile Phehlukwayo for his seventh hit over the boundary to become only the second Pakistani batsman to score a Twenty20 International hundred.

Here is how Twitter reacted:

Ahmed Shehzad had hit a T20I hundred for Pakistan against Bangladesh in the Twenty20 World Cup in Dhaka in 2014.

Haider Ali was the other main run getter with 21.

Andile Phehlukwayo was the pick of South African bowlers with 2-33.

The remaining two matches will be played on Saturday and Sunday, also in Lahore.
