After a record opening partnership of over 200 runs, Pakistan crushed England by ten wickets in the second T20I of the seven-match series. Skipper Babar’s outstanding unbeaten century mauled English bowlers and helped Pakistan level the seven-match series.

With 30 wins as captain, the 27-year-old has now surpassed the likes of Sarfaraz Ahmed, Shahid Afridi, and Mohammad Hafeez.

Sarfaraz held this record as Pakistan had won 29 matches out of 37 under his captaincy.

Before Sarfaraz, Shahid Afridi had this record with 19 wins out of 43 matches, while under Hafeez’s captaincy, Pakistan had won 18 matches out of 29.
