Babar Azam scored a century playing for the Stallions in the ongoing Champions ODI Cup in Pakistan. Babar played an unbeaten innings of 104 runs off 100 balls. Apart from Babar, no Stallions batsman could reach a half-century although former Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed tried to troll the player before Babar Azam's century. Sarfraz said let Babar Azam play 40 overs, don't get him out and interestingly this batsman was also not out and scored another century.
Babar Azam's century
The Stallions got off to a good start by batting first in the match being played in Faisalabad. Shan Masood and Yasir Khan shared a partnership of 76 runs. After this, Masood got out and then Babar Azam came to the crease. He focused more on strike rotation. Babar scored his half-century in just 65 balls and scored the next 50 runs in 34 balls. Babar scored his 30th century in List A cricket. However, despite this century, Babar's team could not reach 300. In fact, Babur did not have the support of the middle order. Captain Mohammad Haris could score only 6 runs.

Babar's good performance in ODI Cup
Babar Azam has been going through a poor run of form lately but the player has been doing well in the Pakistan ODI Cup. Babar Azam has so far scored 225 runs in 3 innings and his average is 112.50. Babar scored 76 runs against Lions and 45 runs against Markhorse before scoring a century in the same tournament. Pakistan have to play a Test series against England next month, in which case Babar's performance will help the Pakistani team.
