Key Insights
New Zealand’s Finn Allen was on a roll against Pakistan as he slammed this year’s first century in the T20I format. Allen scored 137 runs at a staggering strike rate of 220.96, which included 5 fours and 16 towering sixes.
Allen’s 16 sixes from the 137-run knock helped him equal the record of a batter smashing the most sixes in a T20I innings. He equalled the 2019 record of Hazratullah Zazai, who had also hit 16 sixes against Ireland.
Afghanistan’s Gulabdin Naib found a new lease of life in the 20-over format as he made his comeback in the side after a 3-month gap. He was in good touch against India as he smacked 2 back-to-back fifties.
Finn Allen had a rocking start to the year, now it will be interesting to see if he can add more sixes to his tally and keep his top spot. Six-hitting machine Rohit Sharma is also back in India’s T20I squad, so expect some fireworks from his bat.
